This drill is designed to enhance calling ability of batters either during indoor games or for quick singles outdoors. Coach will feed the ball into outfield into space. Nearest fielder will give chase, collect the ball and return to either wicket. Batters will need to judge whether to run, and call appropriately, either YES, NO, or WAIT. Batters keep their own score, rotate around when out or have been in for 5 balls.
Focus batters on judging where the ball is, and who's call it is. Remind batters that loud consistent calling is important.
