On this play, its clear that the runner lowered his shoulder, but if this is a force play at home, would you teach the player to slide, or to run through the base on a close play? Is it reasonable to have him run through the base rather than slide as the catcher doesn't need to tag?

Damn that is brutal. Yes should be just like at 1st base and the catcher has to provide some access to the plate.Juliooooo wrote: ↑Tue Aug 19, 2025 10:54 pmhttps://www.instagram.com/p/DNJtInsyFdb

Re: random baseball question
OK, a guy is arguing that every single baseball coach would teach you to slide in that situation, and I'm just making sure that I'm not the crazy one.D-train wrote: ↑Tue Aug 19, 2025 10:57 pmDamn that is brutal.

Re: random baseball question
The runner had time to swerve out of the way, slide or just lightly push the catcher out of the way. The kid needs to be thrown off the team and black-listed from baseball in the entire valley.
Re: random baseball question
Oh, its another website that linked to instagram. Someone asked what the player should do and I said "run through the plate without lowering the shoulder or slide."

Re: random baseball question
Nobody is arguing that. Especially since he was already out he should have just veered of to the right missing the catcher but several feet.Walla Walla Dawg II wrote: ↑Tue Aug 19, 2025 11:09 pmThe runner had time to swerve out of the way, slide or just lightly push the catcher out of the way.
