12u --- Fake Throw Down To Shortstop --- Like Or Not
12u.....do you like the fake throw down from the catcher to 2nd / SS on a steal from 1 with a girl on 3rd???.....by fake i mean go to the SS.....9/10 times soon as the catcher releases the ball on that throw down the average 3rd base coach will send that runner....but instead of going 2nd go to...- leftyscoach

12u question about holding/checking runner

12u question about holding/checking runner
and as far as my 1st base staying on 1st on a bunt.....is only because I have that rare stud natural athlete for a pitcher....very fast and very quick......99% of pass balls are outs for us because she covers so quick- leftyscoach

12u question about holding/checking runner
so what your saying is go for the out at 1st....take the out.....then go straight from first to home......so when the runner on 2nd makes it to 3rd, she wont even try home......right?- leftyscoach

12u question about holding/checking runner
true....and I get that....would you rather have two on to get the easy at 3rd (if its a ground ball) and possibly get a double at 2nd..... or have a have a batter come up with a runner on 3rd and 1 out.....who you know is going to try to get home at first chance.....the way I was asking about...- leftyscoach

12u question about holding/checking runner
rocketech1....I wasn't talking about a runner on 1st and 2nd....I was talking about a runner on 2nd only....I was saying that if I could hold 2nd and give the batter 1st....then with runners on 1st and second I could have a better chance at a double.....because both girls would leave there base...- leftyscoach

12u question about holding/checking runner
agree.....score plays a big part in that call......just trying to teach decision making when you have the ball.....wrong decisions add up at the end of the game- leftyscoach

12u question about holding/checking runner
to me....if you go for the out at first and the girl on 2nd leaves for 3rd....then if 1st don't make a good throw...or a over throw...then she gets 3rd for free.....now....if you hold her and give up 1st then you have 2 girls on.....so......your next play will be forced at 3rd.....because...- leftyscoach

12u question about holding/checking runner
12u.....girl on 2nd with no outs......next batter hits a small short pop to left of the pitcher......3rd makes the play on the ball......do you hold the girl on second and give up first.....or do you fire to 1st and hope she gets it back to 3rd for a double play.......- leftyscoach
