Watch as Coach Josh Bloomer explains, and players demonstrate this infielder’s ground ball progression. This is a group drill, with all the infielders completing each drill before moving on to the next one. The focus is to get the ball out of the glove quickly and make the throw to first base. Here is the order of the drill progression:
- High Chopper
- Short Hop in the Middle
- Rake Through Backhand
- Barehand
- Forehand
Josh Bloomer was previously a coach at Duke University and the University of Arizona.
