Can't seem to get an answer from anyone on this video. I coached for several years in little league minors, majors and big league and always had great success training "my girls". I coached my daughters 12U little league, 12U Competive and her first year 14U comp team this past year. Together her and I have made her a fabulous player and now at the new season she was appoached and selected for an 18U A team. I always trained my girls to be aggressive and have a killer sportsman attitude. I got a video / CD from Marc Dagenais called Make things happen with Coach Sean Cotter of UMass. Great great great video of information. I do have a few questions from the video if anyone else seen it. I feel kind of dumb for asking, because I believed myself to be pretty knowledgable of the game. But, I am humble enough to shut up, ask and learn. In the video, Coach Sean talks about taking advantage of open bases when the other team is not paying attention or in position. ***He specifically mentions, with a runner on third base he has her ready to steal home at any time. He said, runner on third and batter pop flys a ball in foul territory, catcher rips off her mask and attempts the catch. With no success, the catcher returns to her position, picks up her mask, takes off her glove to use two hands to put her mask back on. The second the catcher takes off her glove with mask in hand, the third base runner takes off and steals home because the catcher is not ready for a return throw. Is that scenario possible? Can the runner steal a base at any time, or at what point can a base runner take off? If that CAN happen, can a runner on first base steal second base at anytime if the pitcher has not addressed the rubber? Because if she has addressed the rubber or started taking the signs, then the runner would be out for leaving early correct? Another question. *** Runner on first, batter hits to the infield and a setup for a double play. Now, I've learned this as a kid, and taught it myself, if you throw the ball to first base first, it gives the lead runner the option to return back to first base if the double play throw beats the runner to the bag. Now, from the video, I felt as if Coach Sean was saying that the batter can stop just shy of first base and it no longer makes a "force" at second until she touches first or a play attempt is made toward first. If the batter does not touch first base and no throw has been made to first yet, can the other runner technically return to first as stated in the above failed double play? It didn't sound right, and not how I've ever known it to be, but I have to ask. Thanks for anyones input.
