One Cut Competition
• This drill can take place in the cage or on the field
• Divide players into two teams
• Each player gets one swing or pitch from coach front toss to get a job done
• Coach decides on the situation, for example, the situation could be bunts, hit and run, runner on 2nd and no out, runner on third, or line drives
• Each team gets a point each time their batter gets the job done. Minus one point for a swing and miss.
• Coaches are the judge and keep track of points.
• The teams can go through multiple different rounds as time allows.
• To add a variation of the game, have players stay at the plate for another swing as long as they get the job done. They can keep scoring points.
