Did anybody catch the Rays/Astros game last night? Early in game 3rd inning I believe and really set the tone for rest of game. Everything seemingly going Rays way.
Perfect example of how to set-up for a play at the plate. Stand out in front of the plate, receive the ball and slide off to the 3rd base side blocking the plate and forcing the runner to take an outside approach, and then swipe tag for the out. No complaints of obs, no argument from coaches, players just kudo’s from announcers and people that appreciate things done right.
Now some will say you can set-up anywhere you want but why risk an obstruction call?
This was just a perfect illustration of positioning I mentioned on an earlier Obs post. Applies to all catchers softball and baseball.
Keep yourself safe and make the play.
