Looks for a way to simulate a game winning rally?
Here it is. Coach your team and place them under stressful situations where they have to perform or get out.
This is Part 2 of 6 of my Competitive Drill Series.
This is my second favorite of all team offensive baseball drills. This is a little quicker if the hitters can't get on base and also has the potential to build frustration, but roll with it.
The hitters have to hit in order to keep hitting. If not, they will go straight back to defense.
Put out or Get out! Just like a game!
Purpose: To create a live offensive pressure which helps players learn how to come through in a difficult situation.
Procedure: 20 total minutes of a live batting station with a full defense. The hitters will bat in a live game situation trying to help keep the rally alive. The hitting group will hit for the allotted time or until 9 total outs can be made.
Once a total of nine outs are made or the time is up, the hitters are done with the station.
Coaching Point: Create a way to get on base and to keep the inning alive. Use extra players as runners or hitters as needed.
Note: Very similar to the Six-Out Drill you read about in Competitive Offensive Drills Part 1 of 6.
The only exception is the outs in this drill are non-consecutive.
