The FungoMan Challenge

by | Mar 22, 2010 |

The FungoMan Challenge can be seen at tournaments and events where FungoMan is being featured. The event gives players the opportunity to catch 3 ground balls at 3b, ss, and 2b. These balls must be fielded clean and then thrown to 1st base successfully to score points.

The player must then run to right field to catch a fly ball, then run to center field to catch another fly ball, then finally run to left field to complete the drill. Watch as young players from 9 to 14 test their skills in The FungoMan Challenge!
