One of the things I like to do with my pitchers is to have them stand at their pitching distance and pitch a wiffle ball giving a full pitching motion. When they start their motion I toss a ball up and hit a ground ball at them forcing them to field a ball hit back at them after delivering a pitch. It's as close as I can make it to a game situation as possible. Most times I have to remind them they need to be a pitcher first and make the pitch. Once the ball has been released then they become a fielder.
