Softball Practice Drills – Bunting Technique

Purpose: To improve the player's bunt technique.

Procedure: A protective screen is in the middle of the pitching area. The drill has two pitchers and two catchers. Pitcher 1 will be in front of the protective screen and throws to home plate. Pitcher 2 is behind the protective screen and throws to second base. Each pitcher has a full bucket of balls, and each catcher has an empty ball bucket. The hitters are divided into two groups, with one group at home plate and the other group at second base. Hitter 1 bunts a specific bunt and runs to first base, while at the same time, hitter 2 bunts a specific bunt and runs to third base. Then both of the hitters jog to the ends of the opposite lines. For time efficiency, the balls that aren't contacted by the hitter are placed in the catcher's ball bucket, which allows the pitcher to prepare for the next pitch.
