6's

Explanation:
The set-up for this drill is shown below - notice the placement within a regular infield. The drill is started with six or more players, two at the corners is a mini- mum. The coach starts by hitting grounder to the third baseman – that player throws the ball to the first baseman. As soon as the ball is thrown, the next third baseman jumps in for the next grounder. The first ball is caught by the 1st first baseman, and the next first baseman jumps in to catch the next throw. Grounders are hit as fast as possible to the next player (one grounder at a time) in the following sequence and then repeated: 3B 3B, SS, 2B, 1B, 1B. If more than six players are being used, evenly place them at each position, and pitchers can be included. Once all the balls are gone, have them move up one position and go another round. We usually go until we have come back to the starting position. Because the drill moves so quickly, communication is key, especially for the corners.
