Indoor Wall Bounce Drill Makes You a Better Infielder
January 17, 2010
Great drill you should start doing now inside. It will help you get your body in the right position to field ground balls and improve your hand-eye coordination.
. Get a hand ball, tennis ball or a pinky and stand about 3 feet away from a wall.
. Now with your glove hand, toss the ball lightly against the wall, underhanded.
. Let the ball bounce once and bounce it off the wall again with your glove hand (no glove) palm up as if you were catching a ground ball.
. Try to get to 25-30 reps without missing the ball and you will be doing great.Its not easy. But the more you do it the better you will get.
. You need to keep your rear end low in a good fielding position, and that will strengthen your legs and improve your balance. And you need to move your feet to be sure the ball is coming back to the center of your stance.
. Start today!
