Instructions

  1. 1Field a rolled ball and bring it directly to the throwing-hand pocket beside the glove, not up to the chest first.
  2. 2Take the ball out with fingers on top, ready to throw, in one motion.
  3. 3Feed a partner covering the bag with an underhand or quick-arm toss depending on distance.
  4. 4Time each rep and push for a faster glove-to-release exchange without rushing the catch.

What to focus on

A short, direct path from glove to release with no extra hand movement.

Common mistake

Bringing the ball up to the chest or body before transferring, adding wasted time.
