Beat-the-Runner Live Infield Drill: Train Game-Speed Throw Velocity
An infielder fields live game-speed batted balls with a real runner sprinting down the line, forcing full-intent, get-rid-of-it throws across the diamond. A radar behind first base captures every throw so the fielder learns to hit peak infield velocity when the play is fast instead of only in clean, unhurried reps.
⏱ ~20 min📋 3-4 sets of 6-8 live reps per fielder (fresh runner each set), with 1 no-runner reset rep between sets; full rest between sets to keep every throw max-intent.
What you'll need
- Radar/tracking unit
- Bat
- Batting helmet
