Diamond Drills – Outfield Drop Step

This is a drill to get the outfielder comfortable with the drop step. This is known as the ‘turn and burn’ drill. Player stands about 10 feet from coach. With ball in hand, coach raises hand and the runner will drop step and turn. Coach throws ball, and outfielder will get to the spot, call it, and make the catch. Work on both the left and right foot drop step.
