Objective

Increase reaction time and coordination of an infielder’s hands

Equipment

  • Baseballs (2 - 3)
  • Gloves
  • Crazy Mat

Description

  • Place the crazy mat approximately 2 to 3 feet in front of the infielder.
  • Throw the baseballs onto the mat creating a possible bad hop.

Tips

  • The throws should be aimed at the right shoulder of the targeted player, this will allow for an easier transfer to turn the double play.
  • Move the infielder in closer to make drill harder (see Video 2)
