Stop teaching your baserunners to pick-up up the third base coach! Especially if you want to teach them to play at the next level. In this situation, as a runner on first base, when the ball is hit in front of you, to CF or LF, then you don’t want to blindly look to your third base coach. This is the baserunners opportunity to learn how to read the play in front of them and determine whether or not they can make it to third base. Now, as a baserunner, if the ball is hit behind you, the third bas

What would you do as the third baseman in this situation? With runners on the corners and an extra basehit to the LF wall. There’s two ways to approach this play as the third baseman. First, we know this is a double cut 4 because the runner on third is going to score and so we’re thinking 3 bases ahead of the runner on first. The SS goes out as the relay, 2B backs up, and option 1 is the 3B can be near the bag as the extra cut allowing him to still get to his bag if there’s a play at third. It’s

Breaking the number one rule in baserunning, never make the third out at third base, can actually score your team a run. In this situation we have runners on first and second and a base hit to RF. Any time the ball is hit to the OF we are looking two bases ahead of the lead runner, so home plate. However, the RF saw he may have had a better play on the runner going first to third and so he threw to third getting the out. But ultimately this allowed enough time for the runner from second to score

Third base is the easiest position to learn and here’s why… The hot corner is definitely a challenging position to play, however, if you have a a player that you want to give some infield innings to, 3B is the easiest to teach and learn. First, the third baseman is on the cutoff on a play to home plate when the ball is hit to left field. Other than that, the 3B just needs to cover their base. This makes 3B the easiest position to learn for any new player to the infield. Are there other situation

The second baseman is never the cut/relay to third base and here’s why! This is a perfect example of why the SS is always the cut to third base on a routine base hit or fly ball to the outfield and the plays at third base. With a base hit we’re thinking two bases ahead of the lead runner. The SS drops into the grass as it allows him to see the base runners and decide whether to cut it or let it go. Here we see that the runner on first got a great jump and he knew he had no play at third so he cu

Why do we see it look like first baseman chase the baserunner to second base? In this advanced baseball cut-off/relay strategy, there’s only one time when the first baseman chases, or trails the batter runner to second base. With no runner on first base, that means no one on, or runners just on second and third, when the ball is hit to the fence it’s a double cut or tandem cut situation. The MIF go out as the relay and back-up and the first baseman trails the runner to second because the play wi

Should the second baseman cover second on a soft groundball to the third baseman with no runners on base? The answer is no, but not for the reason you might think. The second baseman actually backs up the throw to first base in this situation as the primary back up. It’s ok for third base to be left open because there’s no runners on base and the pitcher can cover or the third baseman has plenty of time to get back to his bag. While the catcher and RF break to back up, it’s quite a distance to g

The smartest third baseman makes this play in this situation. We have a runner on second base and a sacrifice bunt on third base. This is bunted hard enough that it pulls the third baseman in to make the play, but the batter runner is a leadoff runner and fast. The third baseman has no play. It is up to the shortstop to come in behind the runner going to third, and the third baseman should pump fake the throw to first base and back pick the runner at third. #baseballcoach #baseball #baseballlife

Coach Dex | Baseball Defense & Offense Situations on Instagram: "How NOT running can save your team from getting into a double play. Every little league baseball coach needs to teach this 1 rule. The drop third strike commonly has batters running down first base but that also results in baserunners thinking they have to go. The drop third strike is only in effect if there’s a runner on first and there’s no outs or two outs. Otherwise, the batter is out and the runners advance at their own risk.
