LL drill

Here is a drill I did at a LL umpire school. I think that they got it from Evans since I've heard he has given them alot of help with their program.

Instructor is in LF with 3 color balls. You start in A. On "go" a runner runs the bases. You cut in and pivot watching the ball. Another instruction will ask you the color, you time your glance at the runner touching first and see if F3 obstructs and glance back at the ball. You continue through the working area making sure there are touches of 2nd and 3rd. All the while the instructor is asking you the color of the ball being held up. At the end the instructor may appeal a runner missing a base and you are expected to make the correct call.

This gets you used to watching the ball and glancing for touched bases etc.
