  • Assume lead at first base
  • Perform two shuffles as teammate or coach simulates pitcher’s delivery
  • Read location of pitch to determine course of action
  • If ball is in dirt, turn and sprint to second base
  • If ball is caught by catcher, quickly return to first base
  • Repeat for specified reps
  • Perform drill at second base

Reps: 5-10 at each base
Coaching Points: Stay low during shuffles // Work with both left-handed and right-handed pitchers
