Eight baseball drills, animated, for t-ball to Little League

Baseball coaches now have their own shelf in the drill library, with eight drills your players can watch before they run them. Find them all on the baseball drills page.

What is on the shelf

• Ground ball to first, the first fielding drill to teach, with the catcher backing up.
• The cut-off and relay and pop-up communication, so the ball gets back in and nobody lets a pop-up drop between them.
• The double-play feed at second and bunt coverage, for who goes where when the ball is on the ground.
• First to third on a single and the rundown, for the runners and the fielders chasing them.
• The catcher's throw on a steal, for the leagues that allow stealing.

Every player in the animations wears their position, P to RF, and the runners are B and R1. Each drill has the setup, the coaching points, how to make it harder, and the rule it is practising, from the force play and the tag play to tagging up and the infield fly. Where t-ball, coach-pitch and Little League age groups play it differently, the drill says so and points you to your league's rules.
