There's a better way to accomplish what he wants. For instance, there is a drill that I do -- take a bucket of balls out towards 2B -- almost to the bag on the outfield side-- then hit one hop and two hop grounders to the 1B and have them try to make plays on them as if they were throws. You get the velocity that you want and the bad hops.
Better than nothing,but he footwork, timing, trajectory, ball movement, and angles are not the same.
