Block & Retrieve (from Traditional Stance)
It is important to make your training as game like as possible. After focusing on the block, adding in the recovery and ball retrieval makes it more like a game situation.
This drill is for improving the process of blocking a ball in the dirt and getting up to retrieve it as quickly as possible. Doing both the block and the retrieve in the same drill makes it more game like.
I also highly recommend you work on every variation that may arise during a game including throws to third and the situation where the runner starts to run to second and then decides to stop and go back to first because it was a good block.
