Read and React

• 2 partners stand 10-15 feet apart in the outfield.
• Both partners start with a ball, and one partner softly tosses the ball to the center of the other partner’s chest
• The receiving partner catches the ball with either hand, and whichever hand is used is the side that the throwing partner will open up to for a drop step.
• The throwing partner takes a drop step and the receiving partner then throws a short distance pop-up that the throwing partner catches in the direction of their drop step.
• The throwing partner should focus on making a quick drop step to the side the receiving partner caught the ball, and cleanly fielding the pop up.
