Is it Bad Coatching or is it something else

"By the way he did get him out with a straddle tag. It was after the game a coach ask him how come the tag like that."

"The play was going to end at 3rd base with the runner coach tell him to get down. If he had set up with his right foot on bag would not he had to tag over his body and some to reach runner even with a will placed ball? Would it be better to tag…"

"agreed, if that runner decides to round then interference can be called with any contact. It is a judgement call by the 3rd baseman but initialy he should be on the outfield side of the bag until the throw is made and then he will decide weather to…"

third base tag

Posted on February 28, 2011 at 8:30pm 8 Comments

My son was playing third base this weekend and the ball was hit deep left field. The short stop went out as cut off and the runners running to third base and then the short stop throws the ball to my son at third base. Should my son straddle the bag or have one foot on the side of the bag and my son is right handed. What would be the best position for him to be in to make the tag?
