All you need is a wall and a ball for this in-field drill! ⚾🧢
Throw the ball against the wall. When it comes to you, you are going to slap it back to the place it came from. Here are the variations:
1) Left hand only.
2) Right hand only.
3) Alternating right & left hand.
4) Using your glove hand, rotate between forehand and backhand.
5) Slap it, 360 spin to the left,
6) Slap it, 360 spin to the right.
7) Get low and slap it between the legs.
To improve in-fielding, catching, and coordination, we want the hand/glove to get on the path and plane of the incoming bounce and then work back through the ball on that same path and plane. If a player's hand/glove is not on plane they will not be able to repeatedly slap it off the wall.
