Place a home plate in front of the strike zone. From two-thirds or regulation distance, a pitcher throws pitches at the strike zone on the tarp. After throwing 20 balls, they collect the balls and start over. Have the pitchers deliver half of the pitches form the stretch. As your pitchers' control improves, divide the strike zone into sections and challenge them to deliver their pitches to the different sections.
Pitchers can also work on their pick-off moves into the tarp.
Develops awareness of the strike zone. Pitchers and catchers stand at regulation distance from each other. The catcher stands behind home plate, and a batter stands in the batter's box. The batter should alternate between a left and right-handed batting stance after every five pitches, but not take any swings. The catcher calls balls and strikes.
