This fielding drill is a great way for baseball players to focus on their transitional defense. By fielding ground balls from side to side, while charging the ball under control, baseball players will learn how to effectively break toward the baseball. As this fielding drill progresses, athletes will conclude each set with a fly ball over the shoulder. This will ensure that baseball players are able to read the ball down on the ground in addition to a baseball hit over their head.
An over the shoulder catch is great for outfielders as well as infielders. 

This infield ground ball drill is also great for speed. The name Mobility 40's represents the distance traveled during each repetition. Four cones will be spaced out to help guide athletes through mobility. As each baseball player charges toward the thrower they will be challenged in multiple directions for fielding the baseball. Next baseball players will sprint an additional 20 yards tracking a fly ball over their shoulder. The important thing to remember here is running form. Baseball players must utilize great arm action to accelerate their legs. Slow arms always equate to slow legs. Younger athletes should especially focus on arm action during this drill. Usually more advanced athletes will have a better understanding on how to utilize their body to run more efficiently. Sometimes, young athletes must spend time focusing on proper arm action without the fly ball.

Review this video several times to get comfortable with the drill format. Repetitions and sets are important when utilizing resistance. Focus on technique as well as the rest durations as you review the video. For more baseball specific training drills go to KbandsTraining.com and browse through the fielding drills section.
