How do you teach your corners to approach a sacrifice bunt, bunt for a hit, and slapper situations?
1. Do you have them start up close and stay still, or do you have them start back further and creep in? What does "up close" mean to you (how many steps)? If you have them creep in, do you have them come to a complete stop during the pitch... so that they can adjust to something hit harder than expected?
2. Do you have them come through the ball and throw on the run? Or do you have them come to the ball, and power slide (shuffle step) through their throw to first base?
When answering, please indicate what level you coach. I appreciate all input, but age reference helps. Thanks!
EDIT: Assume that you don't have the quickest corners out there.
