Outfield Relay Drill to 3B and Home

This is a modified version of the Outfield Drill where the players threw the ball into a barrel. This is great drill work on developing accuracy from the outfield and in hitting the cut-off player for a relay to either 3B or Home.

Separate the group into three groups (right field, 2B/SS and 3B).  Position all outfielders in a single line in right field. Hit fly balls or grounders to the outfielder and have them throw the ball to the relay player at 2B (or SS) and they, in return, throw to 3B. Rotate the players (outfield to 2B, 2B to 3B, 3B to outfield).  You can incorporate throws to Home as well.
Coaches Point:

The main objective for this drill is to work on improved throwing accuracy, direction and hitting the relay player. Arm strengthening is another goal making the players more effective and confident with their throws.

Seven Position Scrimmage

It is important to experience all positions as a young player.  Divide the team into two squads and play a seven inning game.  Pitchers and catchers play their normal posiiton throughout the game but the other players will switch positions each inning.  After the first inning, the first baseman goes to 2nd base, the 2nd baseman goes to shortstop, the shortstop goes to 3rd base, the 3rd baseman goes to left field, the left fielder goes to centerfield, the centerfielder goes to right field and the right fielder goes to 1st base.

Coach's Point:

This drill allows the players to develop as complete players and demonstrate their skills for the game.  Players gain a new appreciation for the challenges at each position.
