Fielding Drill Using a Catcher's Glove

A great way to develop an infielder in using his hands and having them work together is to have them use a catcher's glove.

Each player should field about 20-30 infield grounders while wearing a catcher' glove.  Work both right and left sides.  Hit slow rollers that he must charge, field and throw to first base.

Coach's Point:

It is much harder to field balls using a catcher's glove.  it is bulky and has a smaller pocket.  This drill will build fundamental skills such as using their throwing hand to gather the ball into the glove.  The player must develop precision to gather the ball into the pocket.
