Indoor Softball Drills - Figure Eight

Purpose: This softball hitting drill allows players to develop a quick adjustment to the ball.

Procedure: The batter is in her stance, and a tosser is down on one knee with a ball in each hand. The tosser is six feet away facing the batter. The tosser tumbles both balls around each other and then tosses one or the other to the batter. The batter then takes a full swing and hits the ball into the net. The batter does not know which ball will be released.
