Naps Use Safe Baseball Tactics Against Hidden Ball Tricks
The Naps plan no hidden tricks this season preferring cautious baserunning. Runners must hug bases until the pitcher takes position at the slab or the ball is known. If a pitcher assumes the rubber and then a hidden ball move occurs, runners advance a base. A pitcher taking position without delivering the ball would be ruled a balk as soon as hands are dropped.
