Pitchers - Control Drill
Pitchers and catchers stand at regulation distance from each other. The catcher stands behind home plate, and a batter stands in the batter’s box. The batter should alternate between a left and right-handed batting stance after every five pitches, but not take any swings. The catcher calls balls and strikes. Have the batter wear a helmet in this practice situation .This game like drill will help your pitchers develop a consistent pitching motion, get a good feel for the strike zone, and get use to pitching with a player in the batter’s box.
