Purpose: To learn to play the fence, which is very important for the outfielder.

Procedure: The drill uses outfielders, a relay, and a catcher. The outfielders form a line in left, right, or center field. A tosser about 15 feet from the fence throws the ball so that it lands against the fence. From a fielding position about 20 feet in front of the fence, an outfielder goes quickly to the fence, plants her foot against it, picks up the ball, listens for the relay's voice, and throws to her. Emphasize the bent front leg for the throw and hitting the relay.
