Defense - Soft Hands

This is a great drill to help soften hands. Instead of a glove, have the player use a paddle or a specific "soft hands". Work on bringing the baseball up to the stomach as you field it, and then getting into throwing position.

This young man is in training and learning. Both bare hands and the fielding aid should be used. Bare hands are for feel, the training aid teaches how to soften grounders.

@mattduder thats right...until a pitcher can throw a perfect game every outing, he is not perfect. until a batter hits a homerun every at-bat for the rest of the season, he is not perfect. and until a fielder doesn't make one error the whole season, he is not perfect.

all the sudden everyone is a world class major league baseball coach. shut the f up you homo's he's practicing. and why do we practice? because we still have room to improve. good lord

I would rather see this kid use only his bare hands. It is hands down the best way to become a great defensive basaball player. You dont need to use a baseball at first, a tennis ball will do but work up to a baseball then eventually take your fungos without a glove. I guarentee you will become a really good defensive baseball player.

he brings the ball up to his throwing hand you are suppose to cradel it

[egnog]
