Breaking Down the Softball Fielding Drill

Grab the fence and stride out wide so that the arm is stretched but still holding the fence.

Shift the hips out, with weight on the front leg. You want to get enough power in the front leg to help you fire the ball when you throw.

Release the hand holding the fence, and throw. Follow the throw with the step through in a smooth and efficient, powerful motion.
