Softball Drills for Infielders - Infield Hook Drill

Infield Hook Drill: This is a great drill to work on fielding different types on ground balls. Working on making accurate throws to 1st base from several different positions in the infield and also working on conditioning. * Setup of Drill: Setup one player in the 3rd base position, one player in the catcher position and one player at 1st base with a bucket. The rest of your players will be on the 3rd base line, waiting for their turn to do the drill. Place one ball in the pitchers circle, before the start of each players turn. * Step 1: Have a coach hit ground balls to the 3rd baseman, who then throws to 1st base. Then the player will run to the pitchers circle, pick up the ball and throw to 1t base. Then run around 2nd base, making a hook like shape. The coach then hits another ground ball to the left of 2nd base, where that player will field that ground ball and make another throw to 1st base again. The player will not move forward to around the Short Stop position, where the coach will hit another ball and that player will charge the ball and make a throw to the player at home, who will then receive the ball and immediately toss a slow roller, simulating a bunt in front of home plate, where that player will charge home and field the ground and throw one more time to 1st base. * Step 2: Every player will move clockwise after that last throw to 1st base. Player who executed the drill will now move to catcher position. Player at catcher position will move to 1st base position. Player on 1st base will move with the rest of the players waiting their turn at 3rd base foul line. * Rules of the drill: You can do a variation of this drill but having the players at the 1st base position, throwing to 3rd base, doing the same throws. Field on at pitchers circle, make the hook around Short Stop position, field ground ball, throw to 3rd base, proceed to 2nd base position, field ground ball and throw home. Field slow roller bunt and throw to 3rd base. * This is a great drill to work on fielding at different positions, work on making accurate throws and getting some conditioning at the same time. 🥎🥎🥎#softball #SoftballDrills #EasySoftballDrills #Softball #SoftballPracticeDrills #FunSoftballDrills #infielddrills #conditioning
