Free Girls Softball Practices Drills – Front-Screen Toss

Purpose:To practice reacting to live underhand pitching for softball hitting.

Procedure: A screen standing about 15 feet in front of the hitter protects the tosser. The tosser throws both inside and outside at all heights. To simulate a change-up, the tosser loops (arcs) some of the tosses and forces the hitter to wait on the ball. The hitter takes a normal swing, hitting the ball where it is pitched. She should drive outside pitches to the opposite field and pull inside pitches.
