Down Angle Drill

Divide players into three groups and put a group at all bases except home.

Coach is on the mound with a basket of baseballs, throwing a variety of good strikes, balls in the dirt
and air balls to the screen.

Catchers in full gear at home plate, working on their blocking skills.

Base runners get their primary lead, then secondary lead on the pitch as they read the down angle.
Based on what they see, they either stop on their lead foot, and quickly get back to the base, or they
sprint to the next base.

Runners on third base will not be able to go on as many balls as the other runners. If the other runners
move up and the runner on third cannot go, he should return to the base, then jog around to first base.
That will keep the numbers at each base even.
