Team Drills Infield

Double Play Drill

Instructions

• All infielders set up in infield positions (pitchers are optional for PFP)
• Runners on first base or first and second base as determined by the coach
• Place a tee at home plate and have all other players prepare to hit
• Have the batters hit a ground ball off the tee anywhere to the infield
• Infield starts at double play depth and turns double plays with live runners
• Hitters and base runners run game speed to give defense realistic reads
• Hitter becomes runner at first, runner and first rotates to second, and runner at second rotates home after each hit
• Infielders should focus on communication for the double play, knowing who has which base
• Rotate infielders or have infield two deep to keep the drill moving
