These drills are targeted toward baseball players, coaches, and parents.
Key Takeaways and Drills
-
Up Top, Down Low: Focus on correct glove positioning—thumbs together for high catches and pinkies together for low catches. This helps players adjust their hands to receive the ball correctly.
-
The Waiter Tray: Players hold their gloves palm up next to their head, like a waiter holding a tray. Coaches gently toss the ball into the glove, helping players get comfortable catching with their gloves up over their heads.
-
Around the World Receiving: Coaches toss easy throws to four points—right shoulder, left shoulder, right hip, left hip—to help players get used to rotating their glove depending on the ball’s direction.
Consistent repetition of these drills will lead to significant improvement.
