PFP- Comebackers

Instructions

• All pitchers in a line to the 3rd base side of the mound, with one pitcher on the mound (each pitcher has a baseball)
• At least 1 player at the shortstop position, covering 2nd base
• All 1st basemen in a line behind 1st base, with one 1st baseman on 1st base
• To start the drill, the pitcher on the mound pitches to the catcher
• Once the catcher catches the pitch, the coach will hit a ground ball (from a ball out of the bucket) to the pitcher
• Pitcher fields ground ball and makes a good throw to the shortstop at 2nd base, who then throws the ball to the 1st baseman (turn a double play)
• 1 st baseman tosses the ball back to the pitcher, the pitcher then gets in the back of the line
• Players rotate through the line until each pitcher has fielded 10 ground balls
