So - just what is it about baserunning that's different - except the actual lead-off? Don't be shy - teach me somethng so I'll shut up.

Does how to throw a pitch change with a baserunner? When may change, but not how. But as coaches call the pitches anyhow there's nothing to teach the pitcher/catcher yet.

Did you know most of the throw-overs are called friom the bench - even in MLB?

Is "set" somehow totally different than wind-up? Do you go to a different balance point? Do you throw with the other hand? Keep up with the lessons - I'd appreciate it if someone as wise as you could improve mu knowledge base.

I'm not arguing with you. You are undoubtedly more experienced and smarter than my high school and college coaches were. They both had us working on these issues repeatedly over the course of pre-season training. They took many days to do what you can in two.

If you've proven anything during your time here, (aside from being the smartest coach in baseball) it's that this is not very likely.
