What should the first baseman do in this situation? Hint, it’s not trail the runner. The first baseman is the second cut in this double cut situation. The RF comes in to cover second base. While many coaches teach on a double cut home to have the 1B trail the runner so second base is covered but we have the RF come in so the 1B can cut it off early instead of the throw going all the way home. #baseballcoach #baseball #baseballmom | Baseball Instincts

Tell me again how the first baseman trails the runner to second base on a double cut 4 hmmm 🤔 In this situation we have a runner on third base and an extra basehit down the RF line. Now this is an advanced double cut technique. The second baseman goes out as the relay and the 1B backs him up. The SS is in a read situation at second base in case he needs to pull a Jeter. Now, in this situation, the runner had home easy, and so the 2B came up firing to third base. Any time there’s a ball to the f

Why do we see it look like first baseman chase the baserunner to second base? In this advanced baseball cut-off/relay strategy, there’s only one time when the first baseman chases, or trails the batter runner to second base. With no runner on first base, that means no one on, or runners just on second and third, when the ball is hit to the fence it’s a double cut or tandem cut situation.

What would you do as the first baseman with a runner on second base and a ball hit to to the right center field fence? Leave your answer in the comments 🔥 Anytime the ball is hit to the fence it’s an automatic double cut or tandem cut situation and the play is set to be 3 bases ahead of the lead runner. The runner on second will score and so the batter runner is the lead runner. So the plays at third. Some coaches think if it’s hit to the right side just have the second baseman be the cut but t

Every first baseman needs to know this! In this situation there’s a runner on first base and a hard ground ball hit right to the first baseman. It’s important to note that as a baserunner you do not have to go. The first baseman made a heads up play and turned to second noticing the runner didn’t go. But here’s where things can get dicey. If the first baseman does not tag the runner first, he would not get the double play. Smart enough, he tagged the runner and then stepped on the base. #basebal

Every right fielder and first baseman should know what to do with a runner on second base and a hard one hopper hit to the right fielder. There’s only two options. 1. Come up aggressive to throw the runner out at first base. 2. If no play there then it’s easy for 1B to drop in and become the cut home which allows the play to be made on either the runner from second or the batter runner. #baseballcoach #baseball #baseballlife #fypage #foryou #foryoupage #baseballdad #baseballmom #baseballcoaching

What do you think the second baseman should do in this situation? With a runner on first base, less than two outs, and a fly ball hit foul behind the catcher? In this situation, we’re anticipating the catcher to be the one that makes the play. Pitcher is pointing to where the ball is. 3B and 1B are covering their bags and SS covers second. The OF comes in towards the infield to back the infielders. But what does the second baseman do? This depends on the runner. If the runner tags, like he shoul

In this situation with a ball hit to the fence it’s a double cut or tandem cut situation and so the ball needs to be thrown three bases ahead of the lead runner. So the plays at home. Instead of trailing the runner and having the 3B drop in on double duty, which leaves third base wide open, the 1B drops in and the 3B covers third base. This holds the batter runner to second base. #ba

What would you do as the first baseman with bases loaded, no outs, and an extra base hit to the LCF fence? Now this is a double cut situation which is an advanced cut off or relay technique. The play is going to be made between third and home so the best way to teach this is throw the ball and line up three bases ahead of the lead runner. We assume the runners on second and third will score making the runner on first our lead runner. The third baseman covers his bag, pitcher backs up home, SS go

What would you do as the third baseman in this situation? With runners on the corners and an extra basehit to the LF wall. There’s two ways to approach this play as the third baseman. First, we know this is a double cut 4 because the runner on third is going to score and so we’re thinking 3 bases ahead of the runner on first. The SS goes out as the relay, 2B backs up, and option 1 is the 3B can be near the bag as the extra cut allowing him to still get to his bag if there’s a play at third. It’s

Coach Dex | Baseball Defense & Offense Situations on Instagram: "What would you do as the second baseman? With a runner on first and a groundball to RF? Hint, he’s not the cutoff. Most coaches teach that the 2B goes to make the play and if he can’t make the play he becomes the cutoff off. But now the entire play is happening behind him and it allows for runners to more easily advance. Instead, the SS should drop into the infield grass, now he has the runners in front of him, the 2B gets back to
