Fungos are a type of baseball practice drill used primarily to improve fielding skills. In this drill, a coach or player throws or hits balls to fielders, who must catch or field them cleanly. This practice helps players develop their hand-eye coordination and reaction time, essential skills for defensive play in baseball. The term "fungo" can also refer to the bat used in these drills. A fungo bat is typically lighter and longer than a regular bat, allowing coaches to hit balls with greater accuracy and control. This specialized equipment is designed to make practice more efficient and effective for players.
