[@ricoqueso6392]

Chris Allen that is so true

[@bmil38]

I play softball now, but when I played baseball, there were too many coaches that got mad at you, but likely couldn't make the play themselves. Example would be playing LF on a bumpy field. Ball would come at you and take a hard kick to the side. Coach immediately gets pissed and starts yelling stuff like "keep it in front of you!" My favorite is when an overweight coach gets mad at an outfielder for not making the catch on a ball they had to run 90+ feet for and one that statcast would rate a 5 star grab if it's made.

[@christopherdavis1012]

My favorite part about this is this it’s probably 5-10 minutes in real time. I love the unspoken expectancy of “You’re a pro. I’m going to show you something for a few minutes and after that, it’s up to you and the rest of your career to build upon this training.”

I am from the UK and love baseball. These finer details and technique`s i find so interesting. I remember trying to hit balls from one of those machines when on holiday but always hit the ball into the ground. I thought i was going to be better. I played Golf and Cricket to a decent level so expected results pretty quick. The next guy up played semi pro baseball, his partner told me and it was a thing of beauty watching him. Similar watching a pro golfer. Kind of extended the swing fully.You could see his swing repeated and he was coached. Its superb watching people who are good at what they do.

I love baseball. I never went past Little League. But, as a Little Leaguer and a son, I was able to watch and learn some from the late 1960s-early 1970s Championship Baltimore Orioles (Sometimes in person at Memorial Stadium). Hall of Famers!! I wish I had stuck it out. I was always a great fielder (mostly outfield, but I subbed at 3rd base very nicely). I think I would have figured hitting out, but maybe the times just weren't there, and I would just continue to suck at hitting! Well, now, my back hurts too much to swing a bat hard, so the OVER THE FENCE homer is still out of the question...ALWAYS WAS! But learning the game, like we see in this video, dotting the i's and crossing the t's, is just beautiful. Holding the tag was missing, where instant replay is so prevalent nowadays. But I love the fundamentals taught in the video, and would have loved to go through those drills as a young ballplayer! Great stuff!

Only on a force play, runners would be on 1st and 2nd in this instance. If there's only one runner on it's not a force, and you would have to tag a runner trying to get into 3rd base out.

imagine how much better players (not just mlb players just players in general, even rec players) would be if their coaches taught them this stuff from a young age.

[@eldiesel4593]

The coach kind of mentioned where to tag. The biggest problem on tag plays is the fielder reaches out to place the tag and the runner slides underneath it. Which this coach is apparently oblivious to. The good thing is umpires call the runner out if the ball beats him, they don't really care about when the tag was placed.

[@wildcard157]

el diesel you must not have watched baseball in years because the instant replay entirely does away with that nonsense now.

[@eldiesel4593]

@@wildcard157 I'm aware of instant replay, but thanks. In theory replay solves a lot. In reality it doesn't. The A's/Indians 9th inning homerun 5 years ago, Angel Hernandez got it wrong in real time and on the replay. There are tons of examples but that's one of the worst ones. I guess you don't watch much baseball.

[@bubblevest1544]

Agree and disagree, more times than not, a runner will slide into the closest part of the base and a bang bang play, if throw beats him and fielder is waiting then you will see a diversion in the slide. This is basic fundamental framework of the play, of course being a athlete you will improvise your tag accordingly. The key word in your example :Angel Hernandez
