World's Best Base Running Drill:
World's Best Base Running Drill: This is a great drill to help teach your players the basic fundamentals of base running.
*
Setup of Drill: Have one coach or parent/helper on the pitching mound. One coach just behind that coach, with a couple balls. A coach/parent/helper in each outfield position and if you can, your actual 3rd base coach on 3rd base.The coach behind the pitcher (coach) will be throwing fly balls to a different outfielder, simulating one of the following (in progression):1.) Routine fly ball
2.) Fly ball that’s 50/50 catchable
3.) Fly ball that is dropped
4.) Over the head hit
5.) Base hit situations (single, double, etc.)
*
Step 1: Runner from home will be running like, it’s a routine base hit to the outfield and make the turn on first and turn their body to face where the ball is, and walk back to 1st base facing the play. Practicing being ready to advance just in case of a mis-play for throw. Runner has to just be aware that they can advance at anytime.
*
Step 2: As part of the progression of plays/throws from the coach behind the pitcher. Every player has to be on their base, in ready to run position, ready to lead off after the coach/pitcher makes the windmill motion to make their pitch. This happens on every base.
*
Step 3: Each player then comes off the bag, ready to lead off and has to be aware of the play. Fly ball to right fielder. Each player will face where the ball is, gauge the situation (Progression part - Routine Fly Ball) will tag up if they know they can advance safely to the next base. Ex. Routine hit ball to right fielder, player on first goes back to base. Player on 2nd tags up and goes to 3rd base and player on 3rd base tags up and goes home.
*
Step 4: Keep simulating the same play. Pitcher wind up - Base runner lead off, Coach throws a ball to an outfielder in the progression sequence and players asses every situation based on what base they are on and where the ball is hit. We are assuming every ball hit is less then 2 outs, so they are not all automatically running and have to learn what to do in every situation.
*
Step 5: Go through the progression plays and different situations and explain after each play what each player needs to do in that situation to help advance to the next base.
*
This is a great drill to really help good base running habits. Help prevent base running blunders, where a player didn’t know what to do after a hit was made. Really instill the basics when it comes to learning how to practice leading off after the ball leaves the pitchers hand, what to do next, when the ball is hit to the outfield. Learn how to asses each situation based on what bag you are on and where the ball is hit, in order to advance, not get out and hopefully score a run. 🥎🥎🥎 #EasySoftballDrills #Softball #SoftballPracticeDrills #FunSoftballDrills #BaseRunningDrills
