Fun Softball Drills – Runner on Third

Purpose: This drill works on the basics of base running by having players learn how to react to balls off the bat in a game situation.

Procedure: A full defense is in position. Two runners are at third and two hitters are in the cage. The hitter tries to get the runner in from third with less than two outs by bunting or hitting away. The runners at third should go one at a time, each reacting to the ball off the bat.
