Forgot about the intentionally hit this guy sign. Great video, just getting into coaching so I’m watching a lot of your videos!
My catcher just does a middle finger

Well done video coach. Exceptional communication between all players on the field is key to winning ballgames There are many important details to being good at signal calling. I always tucked my signs tight, "touching plastic" as I say, knees pointed almost at the SS and 2nd baseman so I could use my glove to shield the batter from peeking when needed and it happened a lot. During warm ups I would asses which pitches were working best that day and then we would jog out to the foul pole and discuss which pitches we were going to use that day and how the sign patterns would go. Then relay that info to the players up the middle. SS tells 3rd, 2nd tells 1st and CF tells LF and RF. SS and/or 2nd would relay pitch calls to the OF'ers, so they could "cheat" a step or 2 accordingly and situation dependent.
More good information to add to my understanding. Cool.
Just ordered your book for my son. He has his first try out on Saturday
awesome. Really appreciate that!
By far the best on RUclips ! Thanks
ikr
fantastic video!!
Glad you liked it!
Dan-any chance you could make a video about what it means to “stay on top of the ball” when pitching?? I haven’t found a good explanation that’s made it “click” and I know my 11 year old throws a “natural slider” when playing catch which isn’t great. But whenever we try and work on it he does a bunch of unnatural mechanical adjustments to try and correct it which obviously isn’t great either. Any thoughts or good drills to correct?
there's a grip fix here, start with that if you haven't yet: ruclips.net/video/t82tKENmxig/видео.html but basically, "stay on top" really just means getting your finger pressure firmly in the center (the top) of the ball. Being "on top" as a sidearmer, for example, means fingers centered on the ball at 3 o clock.
@@DanBlewett awesome, thanks Dan!
Hi 😀
Any recommendations for a low inside outside pitch sign
what
Very good coach Dan! except for shouldering the catcher I do not like most of the rule changes made to the game. Pitch com? I don't like because because I would watch the sings my self. Also I liked the pitcher having to bat He's on the team too And I'm sure they liked swinging the bat, (who wouldn't)?
Pitch com my eye. I called my own games except intentional walks and pick off plays for 1st and 3rd situations. I agree, why is it the highest paid players, who play the least amount of games, only have to do half the job of every other player on the team in the handful of games they play in?
coach i throw a splitter at 13 yrs old. im 6’ 180 lbs and have big hands and throw 76 mph. I want to know if i should keep throwing the splitter, or wait until im older.
no - I dont recommend it as a primary offspeed pitch, especially for your age.
There are times when I can't see the sign when I'm a pitcher😢 Is there a way to do this?
gotta call your catcher out and tell him. he may need to paint his finger nails or put white tape on his fingers
I agree with Coach Dan and try those first. If for some reason you are still struggling, due to poor lighting during night games, for example. You could switch to the number of signs flashed, glove position while flashing signs, chest protector touches (as if he were a base coach sending signals), whatever you and the catcher can to work out because you need to be on the same page every pitch. When choosing the alternate methods I presented you need to be careful as it is much easier to steal the signs if they are looking hard enough and they tend to be confusing for those trying to learn them. These are best used to finish an inning or switch to for the last inning if signs are being stolen or visibility is poor. These alternate methods will last no more than an inning or 2 at most.
What would happen if no communication of pitches was done? Just have the pitcher throw without any signals being done. How about that?
what you think would happen
Where’s the location part at ?
it was in there
