Catchers throwing to what spot?
What are the observations on these specifics?
My take on this, we can
Throw the ball say waist high or 3 feet above intended target.
Have heard some coaches say chest high throw.
Or
Throw to the base.
(meaning just in front of lead corner few inches above ground)
While its a good throw to throw to the base level throw 3 feet high,
( and encourage this)
it does involve time for fielder to catch it and bring tag down.
*Would also like to encourage getting a bit more technical on throwing to a spot at the base itself!
Essentially throwing to where fielders glove catches the throw and runner slides/dives into glove.
(no extra glove movement to place tag)
Really great for back picks!
ZAP!
Yes there maybe times even with that specific spot fielder will need to locate runner and tag. It will still be closer.
With really fast runners and plays the quickest play is no down time in between catching throw and placing tag.
Catchers hit our spots!
Can be the difference between an out or a runner advancing!
LET'S THROW RUNNERS OUT !!!
