Watch as Coach Billy Boyer explains, and infielders demonstrate these targeting fielding drills. Coach believes that most throwing errors are a result of catching the ball poorly and synchronizing poorly. Good targeting allows for stopping the ball faster and improves transferability. The infielder will kneel and use a training glove for catching the ball in this series of drills that progress from simple to more complex. Coach will use tennis balls, regular baseballs, as well as weighted balls in the drills.
Billy Boyer was formerly at Univ. of Washington
