How To Field A Pop Fly

Step 1: Ready For Anything

Infielding starts with your "ready position". Get low to the ground with your knees bent and your glove ready. Distribute your weight evenly on the balls of your feet so that you can move as fast as possible in either direction.

Step 2: Get Under The Ball

Once the ball is hit into the air get underneath where it is going to land as quickly as possible. Run to that spot and try not to backpeddle so that your feet don't get tangled and you trip. Keep your arms extended and put your glove out ready to pull in the ball. Make sure that you let your teammates know that you are catching the ball.

Step 3: Pull It In

As the ball hits your glove pull it into your mit while covering the open side of your glove with your throwing hand so as to keep the ball from bobbling out.
