Catching fly balls is a crucial skill in baseball. Whether you’re playing in the outfield or covering the infield, knowing how to catch those high-flying baseballs can make you an invaluable player on your team.
Have a friend or coach hit pop flies to you. Start with easy ones and gradually increase the difficulty. This will improve your timing and judgment.

Grab a bucket and have someone toss baseballs into it. Try to catch as many as you can. This drill improves your hand-eye coordination.
Set up two teams. One team hits the ball into the air, and the other team tries to catch it. Each catch earns a point. Switch roles after a set time or number of catches.
Imagine you’re in a home run derby, but instead of hitting, you’re catching fly balls! See how many you can catch in a row without dropping one. Challenge your friends to beat your record!
Becoming a fly ball-catching superstar takes practice and patience. Don’t get discouraged if you miss a few catches. Every great baseball player started by improving their skills one step at a time.
