1st and 3rd Double-Steal Drill

How to Do It

Divide players into three groups---1st base, 3rd base, and one hitting group. One player from each group receives sign from third base coach and executes the play. After each play, three new players repeat the same steps.

Each group will work at their station for x minutes and then rotate counter clockwise upon coaches command. Runners run full speed, but will not be required to slide. The rolling fingers is always on w/runners on 1st and 3rd.

Key: Perfect execution from all 3 players.
