Practice tips:

 

• Have hitters (no bat in hand) stand in at times while pitchers throw a bull pen.

• Have hitters face kid pitch.

• Prior to games focus on the basic situations.

• Use live runners at times for situations (work on both aspects of the game)

• Make small portions of the practice competitive

• Practices should be designed around areas of situational improvement

  • ex: Covering bunts, pick offs, run downs, 1st and 3rd
