Softball Pitching Drills – Throwing to Bases

Purpose: To practice throwing to all bases for softball pitching.

Procedure: Begin with a pitcher on the mound, a person receiving throws at each base (or one person rotating through the bases), and a person hitting balls. Each pitcher should practice throwing to each of the four bases during this drill. The pitcher goes through a windup without a ball, and the fungoer throws a ball in the air and then hits the ball toward the pitcher. The pitcher moves to field the ball in the center of her body. Each pitcher fields and throws 10 balls to each base including home.
