An easy infield drill my highschool coach taught me. He would hit a ground ball to me and tell me to count the hops it took. This drill helps you to keep your eye on the ball. Most of the time you can see if a ball is going to take a bad hop and adjust. 9 times out of 10 you will field the ball properly with out an error.
