In baseball we always used the same mechanics with throwing behind the batter. Coach on our new team is having the catcher come out in front and around a right handed batter. Is this a valid alternative? Seems like it would be too slow, and therefore ineffective, unless somehow the runner is sold on the catcher throwing to P (or 2nd base).
I believe the rationale was that coach didn't want catcher throwing across runner. 3B can of course set up on the foul side of bag, but there still is the issue of runner returning in foul typically.
