balls are key to successful defense
Bunt DefenseImportant aspect of
defense
PFP’s… Fun StuffPFP stands for pitcher’s fielding plays. This is where the pitchers practice defending bunts and come backers. Come backers are defined as balls that are hit quickly directly at the pitcher. These are quite tough to catch so they need a lot of practice. This is also where the team works on communication as communication is important for successful defense.
Now the Fun Starts… Hitting
Batting PracticeBatting Practice is a coordinated “well oiled
machine” so to speak.The key to a good batting practice is
everybody being where they are supposed to be.
There are a lot of different jobs that are performed for this to run smoothly.
Batting PracticeThere are three groups in batting practice
One group hitting One group playing defense One group warming up in the cages
Pitchers shag balls in the outfield and get them back to the BP pitcher
Cage GroupWarm up off the teesTake some soft tossPitch to each otherHit off of the
machinesWork on drills
Defense GroupDefense group is pretty simple. Practice more ground balls and fly balls while making sure not to get hit by any batted balls from the live group. This last tip is very important.
Live GroupThis is where the
coordination takes place
There is a hitter and about three other hitters who run the bases when not hitting
When the hitter bunts the next hitter picks it up and gives it to the BP pitcher
Each hitter takes four rounds of about five swings
Base runners work on getting jumps, leads and reads from hit balls.
They also need to make sure they do not get hit by any balls
Base RunningAt the end of
practice for a good warm down
