  • Stack your outfield with all available players (Y) and place them in rotation to receive the play.
  • Shoot deep fly balls by adjusting the speed and angle of the machine directly over the heads of the outfielder.
  • Position outfielders at shallow depth in the outfield to allow players to run back for the baseball over their head.
  • Communication is key on balls that are in between both fielders.
  • 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.
