We had gone over it using this video just the week before & my son spun and chased a kid with a giant lead down. 13u championship game in a tourney, kid was the leadoff hitter the 2nd time through the lineup & he hammers a double. So 2 outs now w/ man on 2nd with a really good hitter up in the 3rd inning of a 3-1 game. HUGE momentum changing play thanks for the tips! It’s all about how you communicate with the younger players. 💪

We used to do the spin move (the quickest) where the shortstop would play quite a distance from the base in order to entice the runner to take a big leadoff. There would be no bluffing him back. We *wanted* him to take a big leadoff. The pitcher adds to the effect by not even looking at the runner - he's keying off the catcher. Whenever the shortstop thought the runner had his biggest lead, he would sharply break for the bag. The catcher would see that and drop his glove as a signal to the pitcher to begin his spin and throw. We picked off a *lot* of runners with this.

Hi, I want to get serious about pitching and there's something I've been doing that I don't know if it's bad or not. I'm a. Righty pitcher and every time I deliver a pitch, my front leg points at about a 20 degree angle towards third base. Is this a bad thing? If so, should I fix it right now, or wait until the offseason?
@frankhulin24595 жыл бұрын
I have a question concerning the step off action, when you are picking on first you right foot is placing outside of the rubber toward second base, but how to avoid the balk when you are picking to second without the step off action?
@alanhess93064 жыл бұрын
A pitcher must step toward the base with his free foot. When performing the jab step, It does not matter where his pivot foot lands. But that is a move from the rubber, not a disengagement.

@wetbook716 жыл бұрын
In the spin move, it appears that the first motion is a step-off in front of the rubber. Wouldn't that be a balk?? Maybe pick-off moves to 2nd have different balk rules. Also, I thought feints (non-throws) once you commit motion toward a base were considered balks. Again, I perhaps misunderstand the rules, or maybe the no-feints rule only applies to moves toward 1st and 3rd.
@EdMaas24 жыл бұрын
As a Graduate of the Joe Brinkman Umpire School, on the spin move you are stepping off before you throw the ball or not to second. If you try to throw or fake a throw to an unoccupied base, that is a balk. Also, if you look like you are leaning towards going home that too would be a balk. Otherwise, if you quickly step off when you spin l, that is not a balk. It's all in the details and timing. There is a very fine line between a Great pick off move and a Balk.

One mistake young pitchers make when doing the inside move is that they don't raise their free leg high enough to make it look like they're delivering to the batter. They rush it and don't really give the runner a good look like he's pitching. I tell the pitcher to pretend that he's stepping over a bucket that has been placed in front of him. With that mindset, the pitcher will tend to raise his leg higher as he pivots around. It will stop him from rushing.
