DRILL BENEFITS

Infield Grounders Drill

EXECUTION


  • Set the M3X machine at home plate (Atec Secondary Logo) with fielders positioned in the infield.
  • Using real baseballs, set top wheel speed at 6-7 and bottom wheel at 2-3 to simulate medium speed ground ball.
  • Work on ground ball fundamentals; to best simulate live batting, set up the machine at waist level using a ATEC caddypod.
  • DISCLAIMER: ATEC drills are designed to develop player skills in various areas of the game. Results will differ for each player. Players should use appropriate protective equipment during drills to protect against potential bodily injury.
