Softball Fielding Drills- Top 3 Backhand Fielding Techniques

In this video I will demonstrate the 3 best backhand fielding techniques and how to utilize them to ensure you remain in an athletic strong position to throw to your target.
3 top backhands and when to use them:
1. Sweeping/rake through: This is commonly used when it’s a slower ground ball but you don’t have enough time to get around the ball and set your feet.
2. Step Back: This is used when it’s a hit a little sharper to your backhand side. Because it is hit hard and it’s more of a in-between hop, you’ll step back to get a better read on the ball.
3 Cross-over: The cross over is used when the ball is hit pretty far and you have to run a bit more to get it. This is beneficial because you will use your cross over leg to push yourself up into a strong throwing position to make a long throw to your target.

If you could make video on any solid outfield drills that’d be awesome

Looking for mechanics or tips on how to field a ball that is almost out of reach (for example: a shortstop getting to a grounder going right up the middle of the field/second base)

When moving to a ball hit to the glove or backhand side in the infield do you prefer a pivot or a drop step(not and outfield drop step)?

[@MegRemSoftball]

It depends on how hard the ball is hit. If it hit hard and deep, it's more of a drop step. If I have to go to a little to my right or left, it's more of a pivot
