Leading Off

[CDcoach]

As a coach I've actually tried the play a few times with 13-14 yr olds...I've gotten the pitcher to balk a couple of times while trying to figure out what's going on. I've also had a second baseman go out to tag the guy on the grass while we scored a run. Kids like to run the play...I rarely do it more than once a season.

Once I did have an umpire call him out for leaving the "baseline". Of course I questioned it...I had worked witht he guy before...he stuck with his call and learned later on that I was right so I ran it next game he umped for us and it worked.
