Expert Stage Throwing Drill
Stage: I would call this an advanced (expert) drill
Stage Characteristics: This is an advanced (expert) drill because it is moving beyond a single skill, and combining both catching, transitioning, and throwing into a single drill.
What to change: I may want to change the positioning of the players, and make them less stationary. This would make them move their feet, and keep them from getting bogged down in one spot. It would keep them from getting lazy with their feet.
Cues: Set & throw.
Catch and Transfer
Stage: Intermediate to Expert ( This is a basic fundamental drill of baseball)
Characteristics: Players are under control, but are not moving their feet or coming through the ball on the catch and transfer.
What to Change: Come through the ball as you catch it, this will allow for a faster transfer.
Cue: Move your feet and be under control
