make sure to hit balls during practice that are slightly to the side so they have to move. if not, you have to be threatening with something like 10 pushups or sprints or somethingYou need to take alot of infield practice. Repeat then repeat again...and again then do it some more .
Will Pete Rose every be in the hall of fame?
My old high school coach made the infield players get ready with their knees slightly bent and when the ball came toward them he would tell them drop to their knee before the ball approach them and then immediately jump back into ready position and the more you mess up the harder he would hit the ball towards you, until you got it right.Baseball game (serious awnsers only no dumb awnsers)?
try a game of pickel,you know it where you have a runner try to get from one base to the next with-out getting tagged,the drill I use is divide your team into half with 2-3 runners half the team gets at 2nd base in a straight line the other half go to 1st or 3rd same straight line ,OK now one of the runners gets into a pickle and as soon as your kids throw the ball to the opposing base they go to the end of the line and start over.With this drill you can teach catching,baserunning and its fun to get in a picklehit and run well it is what is sounds like you hit it and run or you can do tringals it is where someone eles hits and u would run around the field intell you could catch it
