I doubt it will make any difference, congrats on your best efforts, but with Moms coaching...who else throws the ball around the infield with Rs?

I call the play safe or out and I turn around and head home. I never once considered backpedaling back to my position. Its just too far and too "dumb-looking" for anyone to back pedal 60 to 100 feet back to the plate. If I saw someone I know doing it, I would probably say, "Don't do that."
Like catching up with a fast break, a few backpedals led by a proper shoulder turn...which can be squared" to see the playing field..

No one should teach anyone else to back pedal. Its just bad fundamentals. Period.
I would argue but you have your head firmly in sand...er, concrete..no, made up on tis subject.
