• Place 10 balls in a half-moon pattern eight feet from home plate and spaced evenly from one another
• Get in catcher’s stance with your glove raised
• Explode out of stance, field one of the balls and throw it to first base
• Walk back and get in set stance; repeat until you’ve fielded all 10 balls
• Perform second set throwing to second base
• Perform third set throwing to third base

Rest: Use walk back between reps and set-up between sets as rest time

Benefit: Though this drill replicates fielding a bunt, it also works on increasing your foot quickness for all aspects of catching.

Adaptation: Have a partner play the base to which you’re throwing, so you have a target. Also, number the balls 1-10, from left to right. When you explode out of your stance, field and throw the number ball your partner calls out.
