Baseball Scoring Game
This drill is a variation on the game with a fun scoring system.
How to run it
- 1
Receiving team = Batting team Serving team = Pitching team Ace = strikeout and switch. Missed serve is a walk (one base) If receiving team looses a rally it is a strikeout. If a team wins the rally they get one base. Receiving team must win 4 rallies to get a home run and a point After 3 strikeouts teams switch from serving to receiving. When the team comes in to bat again (receive) they start again with empty bases. The game can be played a certain amount of innings and the team with the most runs wins. A whiteboard may be useful initially to help young athletes visualize what it happening on the pitch.

Coach emphasis: Keep modified game reps game-like and technically clean.
