Softball Throwing Drills – Hit-Ball Line Flips

Purpose: To execute backhand flips off hit balls, a great drill to teach players a part of the softball throwing mechanics.

Procedure: Two lines of fielders stand about 10 feet apart facing the hitter. A hitter hits a ball to the first player in the fielding line. The fielder flips the ball to a teammate at the front of the opposite line, who throws to a catcher near the hitter. The catcher feeds the hitter so that the drill continues rapidly.
