Did you catch the third baseman? This is how NOT to cover third base. 1. Don’t stand behind the bag. You won’t be able to reach the runner. And the ball has to travel further (like what we saw in the video). 2. Don’t straddle the bag, runners can bump into you. Instead… 1. Be in front of the bag. 2. Pick a corner. Whichever side the ball is coming on. 3. Make a tag. Great tag up by @raised_in_baseball and learning opportunity. Be sure to give them a follow! #baseball #baseballlife #fypage #baseb

The second baseman is never the cut/relay to third base and here’s why! This is a perfect example of why the SS is always the cut to third base on a routine base hit or fly ball to the outfield and the plays at third base. With a base hit we’re thinking two bases ahead of the lead runner. The SS drops into the grass as it allows him to see the base runners and decide whether to cut it or let it go. Here we see that the runner on first got a great jump and he knew he had no play at third so he cu

What would you do as the third baseman in this situation? With runners on the corners and an extra basehit to the LF wall. There’s two ways to approach this play as the third baseman. First, we know this is a double cut 4 because the runner on third is going to score and so we’re thinking 3 bases ahead of the runner on first. The SS goes out as the relay, 2B backs up, and option 1 is the 3B can be near the bag as the extra cut allowing him to still get to his bag if there’s a play at third. It’s

As a 3rd baseman, cut off everything you can. It’s such an easier route for a 3rd baseman to field a ball in the 5/6 hole than it is for the shortstop. I know this may seem like a no brainer to some but I see, too many times than I can count, 3rd baseman hesitating because “they don’t want to take shortstops ball.” I’ve also heard of SS getting mad if a call is cut off. Listen to me when I say, you should thank your 3rd baseman! In this specific clip, the left side was shaded a lot but the rule

When fielding ground balls at 3rd base, the biggest thing is working from the ground up and letting those arms relax, so it’s a very quite movement, rather than coming down hard at the last second. #coaching #3rdbase #infielder #groundup #glovework #smooth | MoyStyle Baseball

Third base is the easiest position to learn and here’s why… The hot corner is definitely a challenging position to play, however, if you have a a player that you want to give some infield innings to, 3B is the easiest to teach and learn. First, the third baseman is on the cutoff on a play to home plate when the ball is hit to left field. Other than that, the 3B just needs to cover their base. This makes 3B the easiest position to learn for any new player to the infield. Are there other situation

The smartest third baseman makes this play in this situation. We have a runner on second base and a sacrifice bunt on third base. This is bunted hard enough that it pulls the third baseman in to make the play, but the batter runner is a leadoff runner and fast. The third baseman has no play. It is up to the shortstop to come in behind the runner going to third, and the third baseman should pump fake the throw to first base and back pick the runner at third. #baseballcoach #baseball #baseballlife
