Softball Pitching Drills – The Fielding Pitcher

Purpose: To work on your reaction time for softball pitching.

Procedure: This is a two-ball drill that includes your catcher and another person, a thrower, who stands next to the catcher. As you pitch, this thrower tosses a ball out to you before your pitch even gets to the catcher. You have to field this ball, which then becomes the next ball you pitch. The catcher hands the one you have pitched to the thrower.
