Team Drills Hitting

Short Base Team Bunt Drill

Instructions

• Throw down bases set up at 60 feet apart in the outfield, or the infield of a 60 foot base field
• One team is on offense (only bunting), the other team is on defense (only in the infield)
• Coach or player pitches from 30 feet away at a medium speed
• Offense bunts the ball using sacrifice, drag, safety squeeze, and push bunts trying to get runners on base to score them
• Defense plays bunt defense and tries to get offense out, but cannot move until ball is bunted
• Defense and offense switch after all bunters have bunted once
• This drill can be done anywhere there is enough space (outfield, in a gym, in an open field)
