Hi Matt, does the same principle apply with a runner on first? For example, there is a deep fly ball to left field. I coach 12u so I'm dealing with lower level players.
Great video Matt! Can you do a video on how to be a great teammate? I know it is not fundamentals, but it can really go a long ways toward team success, which I'm sure you know well. Thanks!
At lower ages, I have to think ALWAYS tag up, no? If he drops, you're on 3rd (at least) with 1 or 0 outs, if caught, you're on 3rd with 1 or 2 outs. Why NOT tag? Tell me why at 14u and lower why you wouldn't tag to Right Field here? I would be interested to hear strategy with this scenario.
You mention lower levels vs. Pro but that you were always taught to take the outs into consideration at all levels. As a coach do you prefer to teach 13-17 yo the proper technique or based on if you suspect the outfielder may misplay the ball because of the skill at the lower level?
"if they catch the ball, there's no real advantage for me getting to third base" i mean....you're still closer than you were? if there's a ground ball you would now only have to advance once to score instead of twice? i'm just playing in a recreational league so nobody has taught me this stuff and i really don't understand these rules. i had hoped these videos would help but it still sounds like mumbo jumbo to me.
So 2nd base, no outs. Flyball to outfield, tag up so you can score on 3rd. 2nd base, 1 out. Halfway (in highschool) if he drops ur gone and at home, tag up if he catches it. Since theres no real advantage on 3rd vs 2nd 2 outs. 2nd base, 2 outs. On contact ur gone, dropped ball lets aim for 3rd so you can score on highschool trash.

I played about 7 years little league and always been a baseball fan and i never herd of this before. Now that you mention it makes sense!
Awesome!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video thank you for the through explanation. I am trying to learn the intricacies of the game.
Love how you broke it down sir. Thank you 🙏🏿!

I just learned something. Thanks Matt. Always heard it’s a bad idea to make a first or third out at third base for a runner. Could you explain that?
Great! I'll throw a video up for you! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Sure thing I'll try to throw something up! Thanks for watching and commenting!

I typically teach proper technique. I know others that do not though and teach it based on skill level. Thanks for watching and commenting!
How does the actual rule work on running to any new base on a fly-ball?????
Thx from Berlin
Should you try to drive your knee down or rotate your hips while hitting?
Russ Hensley both
Yes your knee will drive down as you rotate. I'll try to put up some more videos on it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Antonelli Baseball thank you

Im leadoff and don't wanna look like a dumbass.
Somehow made it halfway into the season not looking like a dumbass lol

yeah, I don't understand the logic either
2 outs youre running at the crack of the bat. Chances are you're scoring from 2nd
Confusing
So
2nd base, no outs.
Flyball to outfield, tag up so you can score on 3rd.
2nd base, 1 out.
Halfway (in highschool)
if he drops ur gone and at home, tag up if he catches it. Since theres no real advantage on 3rd vs 2nd 2 outs.
2nd base, 2 outs.
On contact ur gone, dropped ball lets aim for 3rd so you can score on highschool trash.

Haha!
