Rounding 1st Base

• Player starts in the batter’s box with a bat, other players in a line behind them against the fence of the backstop
• Coach/partner acting as pitcher, goes through a wind-up without a ball for every hitter
• Cone set up 5 feet in foul territory from the 1st base foul line, 10 feet up the line from 1st base
• The batter swings, drops the bat, and runs to first, staying inside of the cone and striking the front inside corner of 1st base
• The runner slows down after rounding the bag, coming to a shuffle and then getting back to 1st base, then jogs to the back of the line at home plate
• Each player rotates through the line so that they each round 1st base 5 times
