In my experience as a baseball coach I feel that most players struggle with in game catch play and at times lack the feet and instincts to successfully play catch. This starts with their intent in practice and the speed by which coaches allow on the field during practice. I am not saying that players lack work ethic or coaches lack intent to keep practice game speed, but the drills that are selected are too monotonous and robotic to be conducive to game speed reactions. The drills that I have listed here are both team and individual based and will prepare any infielder for all game situations.
