the cutoff swivels are really fun - I play shortstop in slow pitch now that my pro baseball career is done, and its VERY satisfying making that lightning quick cutoff to nail a runner. Great feeling, and it's an athletic play, light on the feet
I split my youth team in half and have both teams line up from a foul line all the way to the OF fence and have them do relay races down and back (after having them practice it multiple times). Have to catch it on glove hand side or else it goes back to the thrower to redo. They get so frustrated. Always makes me laugh and it’s possibly my favorite drill.
yeah thats a good drill and a classic - the only thing it lacks for is the bigger adjustments to the ball you'll see in games, since the lines encourage more accurate throws, whereas in games the outfielder will chuck it as quickly as they can, usually a longer distance, both of which mean those throws are off target a lot more often and need the swiveling adjustment mentioned in the video.
thank you for the video
thanks for the video, Drill 2 is perfect for what I've got kids going through later today.

Would love to have the Max BP for both my teams practices. My arm hurts from throwing BP.
It's really fun. Full-size pitching machines are just so heavy and hard to set up (plus not battery powered like this one)
