"Softball Practice Drill #1: Rapid Fire Double Plays
The purpose of this drill is help your middle infielders turn double plays.
How it Works:
For this drill you need a shortstop, a second baseman, and a first baseman. You also need a coach standing between home plate and the pitching mound.
The drill will begin with the coach throwing a grounder to the shortstop. As the shortstop fields the grounder, the second baseman will move over to second base, and the double play will be turned by the shortstop throwing to the second baseman and the second baseman throwing to first.
As soon as the second baseman throws to first, the coach should throw a grounder to where the second baseman is normally positioned. The second baseman must move over to field the grounder and then start the double play by throwing to the shortstop, who is covering second for the double play.
Once the shortstop throws to first, the coach should throw another grounder to where the shortstop is normally positioned.
The drill continues this way for several grounders."
