Free Softball Fast Pitch Drills – Catcher to Bases

Purpose: For softball catchers to practice throwing to bases.

Procedure: An infielder covers each base. The pitcher delivers the ball, and the catcher throws to the player covering the base. Have a batter stand in the box and adjust her position so that the catcher learns to create a throwing lane. Use runners so that the catcher can judge the quickness of her throw. If you do not want players to slide, have them swing wide (away from the infield) as they approach the base.
