Give infielders an opportunity to practice charging slow rolling ground balls and making throws while off-balance.
Bat/Fungo
Gloves
Baseballs (3-4)
Bases / Throwdowns
Organize infielders in a line at a particular position...first, second, third... (this drill will work at all infield positions).
Have a coach stand beside the pitcher's mound and hit/roll slow ground balls to each player - one at a time.
The infielder's job is to charge the ball, break down, pick up the ball and make an accurate throw to the first baseman.
After the player makes the throw, he should return to the end of the line for another turn.
Give players a lot of repetitions and allow them opportunities to field balls with and without their glove.
Teach players to stay low and keep their glove near the ground.
Allow players to experience a wide range of arm angles while throwing.
Instruction tip: tell players to aim 2-3 feet left of the target; this will compensate for the tail of the ball resulting from a lowered arm angle.
