Objective

  • Develop soft hands.
  • Give infielders practice at making the transfer from glove to throwing hand.

Equipment

  • Baseballs (6 - 8)
  • Gloves
  • Bases

Description

  • In partners, facing each other and standing approximately 8-10 feet apart, players play catch using only the back of their gloves to receive the ball.

Tips

  • Players should not throw the ball with a lot of velocity. Since this drill is designed to practice soft hands and ball transfer, throwing accuracy is a key component.
  • Once infielders become more comfortable with this drill, the feeds can be sped up and moved around the body.
