                                                    Hard

                                                    Rundown Fly Bys is an infield drill is designed to reinforce rundown fundamentals and add a twist to the action.  Teach and reinforce four execution keys to remember, and then execute a fun fly-ball football pattern.  

                                                    EXECUTION – Drill is typically run moving from 2nd base towards first base. Place the line at the second base bag, and one cone for the ‘live’ athlete 5-10 feet off the bag. Place several cones down to represent a baseline and use a catch net 10 feet in front of the 1st base bag. Start drill with ball in hand and work through the four Rundown fundamentals:

                                                    1. Establish throwing lane to arm side
                                                    2. Show the baseball
                                                    3. Force a commit – Baserunner must turn and run (see jersey numbers)
                                                    4. Peel off arm side

                                                    Have the athlete toss the ball into the throw net at the final cone, then “peel off” away from the baseline. Continue into no-man’s land for a football pattern. Bring ball back to line. Advance THE drill to athletes calling for the ball, receiving a throw (from you), and executing a proper run down. COULD be done with athletes, but only when ready.

                                                    DC KEYS

                                                    1. Verbal: NOW! – Introduce topic of 1st baseman calling for the baseball. Remove baseline cones and use a verbal to signal when to toss. If no verbal is heard, apply tag to throw net.
                                                    2. Avoid Ball Fake – Fakes your teammates out as well
                                                    3. Go Hard – 95% sprint is key to one-throw rundown
