  • How to Do a Red Sox Baseball Rundown
    How to do a Red Sox Baseball Rundown: Get the baseball into your throwing hand. You want this so you can tag or throw quickly. Choose your throwing path. Both infielders, whether throwing the ball or receiving it, should get to the same side of the base runner. For example, both players get to the infield grass side. This will prevent the throw hitting the runner, and gives both thrower and receiver a clear line of sight. Run toward the target. If you have the baseball, it is your job to run hard at him so he can make a decision. If you run hard, he has to run hard and it is more difficult to stop and change directions. Make him commit and either tag him or give the ball up to the receiving infielder. If you are receiving the baseball, you should close the gap between you and your partner. This makes it more difficult for the runner to stop and get going the other direction before you can tag him. Also, this will keep the play in the middle of the bases and not close enough to where he can make an athletic slide and get in safely. Follow your throw. For example- If you are playing first base and you throw it to the shortstop, peel off and continue to second base. You will be in line behind the second baseman who is waiting for the next throw, and if the shortstop gives the baseball up, he goes to first base and gets in line. It is set up this way just in case it takes longer than two throws.

  • Coaching Manual
    The East Torrens Coaches Manual is a resource designed for use by coaches and players to gain a comprehensive understanding of the philosophies, skills and plays of the East Torrens Baseball Club. This manual should be used by teams from T-Ball right through to Division One and provides the guidance and support in order to develop the best possible baseball players and coaches we can. The aim of this manual is not to create robots but sound baseball players and coaches who have a passion for the game and a desire to be the best baseball person they can. To achieve this, the East Torrens Coaching Manual provides information to coaches focusing on how athletes learn and develop, a breakdown of fundamental skills to help improve your players and detailed instruction on key elements on the mental aspect of baseball, so everyone can raise their baseball IQ. The key to the manual is that every player and coach in the club needs to know the contents and have an understanding on how to apply it. As a coach it is up to you to ensure all the players are able to execute all aspects of the manual and when in doubt regarding content please seek clarification from the senior coaching staff. This manual however, will not enforce how you chose to run a game. This is up to you as a coach and your individual baseball philosophy. This manual hopefully is the bases for that philosophy and the attributes we want in all our players and coaches. This manual will always be evolving just like the game of baseball itself.

  • Bunt Defenses
    King Philip Pride Chalk Talk Bunt Defenses How we call the play: Two digit number second one is the defense. Ex. 54 means defense 4; 41 means defense 1 Bunt Defense 1 (standard bunt defense) - 1B & 3B (Corners) charge in. Normally start 5 to 7 steps in from base depending upon how quick you are. 2B covers first, SS covers second base, and whoever doesn't field the ball between 3B, C, & P covers third base. Bunt Defense 2 (lefty slap hitter) 3B & P charge in. We are defending against a lefty slap hitter so 3B 7 steps in & closer to line & 1B off line a bit. 1B goes back to cover first, 2B covers second base (on steal as well), & SS covers third base. SS should be even with base path shaded toward third base. 2B should be shaded toward second base and two steps behind bath base. Bunt Defense 3 – (fake bunt defense) - P & 1B charge in (3B plays normal depth (3 steps in)). With a runner on second base & TWO OUTS, many teams try to steal a run by stealing third on a fake bunt. The batter fakes a bunt to draw the 3B in and hope that the SS doesn’t cover in time and the catcher’s throw goes to the outfield allowing the run to score. We will have our 3B go back to at third, P cover third base line & 1B charge, 2B covers first. SS back up 3B (feet should be on outfield grass) Bunt Defense 4 – (Bunt defense against possible squeeze bunt with runner at third) – We are going to fake throw to see if we can catch the runner at third.
