Free Softball Drills – Partner Fair Ball

Purpose: To practice hitting a softball off the machine on a field with fielders.

Procedure: The pitching machine is on the mound and is set on the hitting speed and location for that day. All the players have a partner and they take turns hitting off the machine. One hitter gets to hit until she hits a fair ball. Then it's the partner's turn. There is a certain amount of time that's given by the coach for each pair combination. Fielder and base runners can also be used.
