Aidan, a player has to be tagged directly with the baseball ONLY if he is not being forced to a base by a player running behind him. So if someone is on first and the ball is hit to second the second baseman merely has to touch the base. If a hitter hits the ball and runs to first then tries for second, he is not being forced to the base so he has to be tagged out directly. Theoretically he can turn around and go back to first base if the ball comes to second and he wouldn't be out. So when you hit the ball they only have to throw it to first base to get you out at first, they dont' have to tag you. BUT you can tag a base runner who is off the base any time and he is out.

[@NatTurnerswitBurnerz]

Yes, Vladimir Guerrero has a son (Vlad Jr.) who currently plays for the Blue Jays

[@LouieBlack]

A tag is needed on all bases except 1st. It's when there is a 2nd runner behind forcing you to the next base that touching only the base earns the out.

[@jgwill]

yes, a "force out"

[@doncornell1707]

Yes, but terrible explanation.

[@lovesgucci1]

Bo Jackson was an MLB & NFL All-Star, in the same year!

[@phunkjnky]

Aidan, that's his son who plays for the Blue Jays. His father was very raw, what they call a 5 tool player in baseball: running for speed, hitting for power, hitting for average, fielding ability, throwing ability. Five tool players are the rarest type of player. Eventually he achieved greatness, but he was a maybe for a long time.

[@MachoMadness420]

The man could put any pitch in play including ones bouncing to the plate

[@phunkjnky]

@@MachoMadness420 Maybe the best "bad" ball hitter I've ever seen.

[@phunkjnky]

Aiden, I'm pretty sure he actually did that. Physics tells us that the faster the pitch comes in, the faster it can leave. When a pitch hits the dirt, much of its momentum is lost, and the ball has the "muscled" into play. There are few players who have the strength to do it. Vlad did.

[@krayzy932]

Guerrero was a maybe for a long time??? He hit .324 with 38 HRs and 109 RBIs in his first full season. That was at the age of 23. The only 2 seasons he didn't have an OPS+ over 100 was his first season (only 9 games as a 21-year-old) and last season, His biggest issue was that he played for Montreal and nobody watched their games.

[@zgdafzgdaf4264]

Glad to see they included the Ankiel game where he has had two throws. Very rare. You all should see if there’s a Ankiel back story video to react to. Very interesting baseball career.

[@davemac146]

Rick Ankiel is a great story worth looking into.

[@gregcable3250]

THe last guy with multiple clips is the legendary Roberto Clemente ("The Great One") of the Pittsburgh Pirates. To this day he is widely acknowledged as having the greatest arm in baseball history, and having grown up in history I got to see him multiple times. I have seen him throw baserunners out at first base on a single to right field. The old stadium in Pittsburgh was Forbes Field with the Centerfield fence at 457 feet away from home plate and during warm-ups before games he would sometimes go out to the warning track and throw strikes to home plate to warm up. You'd have to see it to believe it. He was also a great hitter and baserunner--he had it all and is considered one of the greatest players of all time.

[@blakerh]

The third clip (Dave Parker) in the video was pretty special because it happened during the All-Star game and every baseball fan was watching that night.

[@user-wr9ej6xe4j]

Vlad Guererro Sr was a LEGEND. Dude never wore batting gloves. The constant pain and vibration from every swing, including batting practice, is crazy. And he hit the crap out of the ball. Lots of HR and doubles in a long career. He's one of the last real old schoolers of the game

[@ericwilliams8420]

Yup Vlad Guerrero has a son. Vlad Guerrero Jr for the Bluejays and he's a beast of a player.

[@david.anthony5212]

Cracked me up with the comment about the same commentator for 50 years, it's so true

[@burnout_2017]

I was born and raised just outside of Pittsburgh in the early 60s and Roberto Clemente was EVERBODY'S favorite player and childhood hero. It was extremely devistating to a whole generation of children in both western Pennsylvania and the island of Peurto Rico when he so tragically died at age 38 while flying relief supplies to earthquake stricken Nicaragua on new years eve 1972. I am so grateful that i saw him play often with my dad, and to his annoyance i always wanted to sit in right field behind Roberto. He will always be my hero after my Dad and grandpaps.

[@MatthewLikesToRead]

Aidan has a fine tuned sport brain.

[@billbrasky1288]

If any previous base is unoccupied the runner must be tagged(because they have the option of turning around and going back). If every previous base is occupied they just need to touch the base. That’s called a force out.

[@zappa1952]

Ichiro...simply the best.

[@JPMadden]

Because of the length of the throw to third base, the outfielder with the strongest arm typically plays in right. If he is also the fastest runner, he might play in center.

[@SilvanaDil]

I really like infield throws, double plays....

[@kylesmith3143]

Sounds confusing but it’s not when you get it. A forced out is the only time you can just step on the base. Meaning the runner is forced to get to the next base because of a runner behind him has to occupy the previous base. If runners are on 1st and 2nd base, there’s a force out at 3rd and second base. 1st base is always a force out because you can’t run backwards to home plate. If there’s a runner on second but not on first and the batter gets a hit, the runner on second doesn’t have to go to 3rd. He could just stay at second so it isn’t a forced out. Therefore he would have to be tagged if he tried to go to third. Hope this helps

[@tiffymcconkey]

8:31 Guerro is Sr, the one on the BlueJays is his son Guerro Jr

[@areguapiri]

Those last throws were from one of the greatest players in baseball history--- Roberto Clemente. That was over 50 years ago.

[@stevenpierce7851]

There is a great Yoenis Cespedes throwing compilation on KZbin

[@Ceractucus]

Sometimes you must touch a runner with the hand holding the ball to put him out, and sometimes, just touching the ball and the base he is advancing to will put him out. Touching the base is allowed if the runner is required to move to the base you are touching. Touching the runner with the hand holding the ball is needed if the runner is NOT required to advance to your base. This is called a force out. If you are on first and the ball lands in the field you must advance at least a base, since you cannot have two runners on one base. This is called a tag out. If you are the batter, you are required to reach first and can be forced out there, but if the ball is hit well you can try for extra bases. If you do, there is no requirement to go past first base so they must tag you to get the out.

[@Vendrix86]

Aidan the reason why people back in the day all sound the same is because the mics back then weren't great and only picked up a certain range so just about every broadcaster "spoke" the same way to be picked up by the mics optimally.

[@TC.Thompson5544]

There was a player in the 2010’s idk if he retired recently but his name was scooter gennett he played for the Milwaukee Brewers then the Cincinnati reds there’s a video called “ scooter Gennett’s four-homer, 10-RBI game” on KZbin

[@DerekHamby]

Two guys that weren't mentioned on the video that are worth looking into is Jeff Francoeur and Raul Mondesi. Both guys had great arms.

[@johndombroski9067]

Mondesi is up there too as perhaps the greatest outfield arm of all-time

[@TheSRC88]

I cant remember his name on the show but Aidan reminds me of the guy that Elaine dates on Seinfeld wearing that Devils jersey 😂😂

[@CinesterCharlie]

They have to be tagged unless there's a force out.

[@evannelson4203]

Lots of highlights from Denver because you can throw the ball a mile at that elevation.

[@MachoMadness420]

The second one was during the 86 World Series and the third during an all star game. I’ll also add that Rick Ankiel was a pitcher who lost his stuff and converted to a pretty good center fielder

[@johnduval6377]

Icharo had a rocket of an arm!

[@abrahamornelas160]

Respect the throw.

[@RoeShamBoe]

First base you don't need to tag the runner ever. For any other base you have to tag the runner EXCEPT if an "force out" meaning the runner must run to the next base because another runner is moving to the base they were on. That's a force out and does not require a tag.

[@ThatCronus]

You guys might need to watch a video on baseball rules. If it is not a force out, you need to tag the runner.

[@benjove]

You should look up some "web gems" videos of great defensive plays

[@SkewtLilbttm]

I'd argue the NASCAR commentators have a bit of unique flair ;p

[@hobbgreen4529]

sometimes if the ball bets the runner the ump will call the runner out even without a proper tag . if you watch a second to first double play , the fielder doesnt even have to step on the bag to make an out . the ump gives the fielders the benefit of the doubt .

[@areguapiri]

If you watch the replays very slowly, you will see that the fielder always touches the base.

[@hobbgreen4529]

@@areguapiri i have see the fielder 3 feet off the base MANY times .

[@BigMoore1232]

Running on ichiro was just stupid lol bro throwing 90's Into his 40's

[@johnduval6377]

he touched the plate with his left hand

[@Beltran15x]

It's Vladimir Guerrero Jr on the Jay's currently

[@lilJJslayer]

Once you guys get the basic rules down, it will be a lot more enjoyable.for ya cheers from mass.

[@Alex.Kaleipahula]

It’s not a blazer, it’s a jacket because it’s like 35° man at night that time of year

[@Beltran15x]

I'm pissed they spelled suzuki susuki

[@Alex.Kaleipahula]

2:48 wrong, and doublewrong, on a tag up, it’s strictly glove, nothing to matter with the base, also 3:05 umpires do not use that pad anymore😂 old school

[@garylogan3640]

Vlad Guerrero for the Jays is the son

[@buckbuck9225]

pardon..bum

[@kschell286]

A wise idiot once told me "Do yourself a favor, google Dave Parker hose." Some questionable stuff came up, but also that throw. Glad it made the list
