- Assume fielding position in front of partner who's holding ball
- Perform three lateral shuffles to left; catch ball as it's thrown
- Toss ball back and perform three shuffles right; catch ball as it's thrown
- Repeat in continuous fashion for specified reps
The Yankee Way: "Stay low, move quickly and don't cross your feet. Maintain good balance while moving, catching the ball and tossing it back."
What it does: "This works lateral movement but adds the element of hand-eye coordination with catching the ball. Instead of just being able to concentrate on speed of movement, you have to think sport-specifically to perform the baseball skill."
Sets/Reps/Rest: 2x20 reps/45-60 seconds recovery.
