Youth Baseball Drills|Basic Bunt Defense
You can see the full article with two youth baseball drills on bunting and bunt defense at youth baseball drills.To begin this youth baseball drill, first we put a pitcher on the mound, a catcher behind the plate (in full gear), a runner on first base, and/or second base.
We then need fielders at each of the infield positions and a batter in the box (with his helmet on). Extra players will be the bunters and base runners.
Pitchers work on holding runners and getting off the mound quickly to field bunts.
Catchers practice receiving the pitch and fielding bunts.
Infielders practice charging the bunt and cover the right base according to where the ball has been bunted.
Also in this youth baseball drill our offense will do some work as well.
Base runners work on seeing the bunt on the ground before breaking and the batter should work on recognizing the game situations that could call for a bunt.
As a youth baseball coach you can make this a competition. The offense gets 1 point every time a runner moves over and defense gets a point for getting the out at first. You could even give an additional point for getting the lead base runner. This competition makes the youth baseballs drills more fun and puts a little game pressure on.
