Baseball Dope on Base Running and Defensive Play
The article notes that few things in baseball drain a club’s life faster than two men being caught off bases and stresses that teams focus on improving base running and defensive play. It points out spectators often overlook the pitcher’s large role in these actions and the overall outcome of the game.
Signaling the hidden pickoff play in baseball strategy
The catcher signals a base throw and the backstop informs the infielder of the plan. The pitcher then throws to make the play easy for the catcher while keeping the ball out of the batter’s reach, creating a futile hit opportunity for the runner.
