Watch as Coach Jason Crain explains and demonstrates with a shortstop this drill for receiving a double play ball from the 2nd baseman. They use a dodgeball or mini basketball to stress using two hands to make the catch. Start by catching the ball, then progress to getting to the bag and working on footwork, catching the ball with 2 hands, and getting to the throwing position.
