Drill:
Double Cutoff
Purpose:
This is a team drill to work on double cut relays from the outfield
Equipment:
Helmets for runners; baseballs
Setup:
Have a full defensive team on the field (minus pitchers). Use any extra players to run the bases.
Execution:
Hit the balls from the infield grass to make sure you are getting them in the proper gaps. Work on double cut relay from all positions in the outfield with no runners (throw to 3rd) and a runner on 1st (throw to home).
Have each group make a play from both lines and each gap before rotating.
Rotate players from outfield to infield to running. Rotation will differ depending on the number of players on the team.
This drill is also a good conditioning drill as players are continually running.
Below are a few images of how I run my double cutoff situations on balls hit to the gaps and down the lines.
