When I was young I used to love going into a sporting goods store ( or maybe Sears), and checking out first baseman gloves.Other than of course a catchers glove, the first baseman’s’ glove always jumped out at you. Growing up in the SF Bay Area, my idol was Willie McCovey. I agree, it’s awesome to see the hidden ball trick properly executed!
This is why baseball is the best game ever invented. Even though nothing is going on, the game is still under way. You never know what's going to happen or when.
AR Canada - The 1st baseman did have his foot in foul territory, but there's actually no penalty for that happening. So no, time should not have been called. The proper way to handle that is to have a coach bring it up with the umpire and the umpire will then bring it up with the fielder so that he can get it corrected. If the fielder continues to do it, then the umpire can direct him to correct it otherwise he risks being thrown out of the game.
Hilarious that the Wichita pickoff worked to the first base side AGAINST Wichita! My son's team did this twice in the same Legion ball season. Worked once .... second time against another team they got bit.
I want to say the Uribe one was a particularly good instance of heads-up play by the defense. As the video shows it at least, It looks like Uribe only had his head down for a second or two (not with his back turned, getting up from a big slide, etc) and the fielders went thru all their machinations right in front of him.
there are things that are repeated over and over and no one really pays attention, so if you fake like you are doing it that way, and they aren't paying attention, then you can fool them...
I can remember a Red Sox game in the Eighties--I don't remember the opponent--when Bill Buckner was the runner on first. The camera happened to be on him when he was just about to take a step off the base, and he suddenly stopped and grabbed the opposing first baseman's glove and looked in it to see if he still had the ball. He didn't, so Buckner proceeded to take his leadoff. He was a first baseman himself, and wasn't going to fall for that trick.
Unnecessary to grab the 1st basemen's glove, just don't step off the base until the pitcher is on the rubber. If a pitcher steps on the rubber without the ball, it is a balk and he gets the next base.
@@joshuabailey3819 to be a balk the pitcher has to start the windup and his raised leg has to make movement toward home plate he can stand on the rubber all day long and throw to any base as long as he hasn't made a stepping motion towards home plate
Another one : Forgot who the Yankees were playing, but A-Rod was running from second to third after a high pop-up was hit, and he (allegedly) yelled "I got it !" as he ran, causing the opposing players to let the ball fall to the ground.
Big Cee Exactly no different then what iz taught from the beginning in little league baseball defensive chatter. “Hey batter, hey batter, heyyyy swing!!” Nearly all sports have a strong psychological aspect to them which iz often ignored and downplayed in most sports except in professional fighting sports where it’s actually revered and coveted.
The one at 5:40 was actually used in the movie Little Big League. Johnathan Silverman played the pitcher. Timothy Busfield played first base and they even had the people on the sidelines part of it too.
I don't feel as bad. I got caught on one when I was on third base and wanted to score. Our man on first base attempted a steal and the catcher jumped up with what I thought was a throw to second to get him, so I took off for Home. What he had done was to throw the ball high enough to look like a throw to second, but the pitcher jumped up in the air and caught it and had me dead to rights. Seeing the Pros being caught makes me feel better.
Some of the plays were truly trick plays, so wouldn’t be part of regular baseball strategy. I’d assume they try the occasional hidden ball trick at random or because the baserunner has a habit of wandering off the base so it’s worth trying (I’d guess there are plenty of times where the fielder thinks about it but doesn’t try, hence it wouldn’t even be noticed by the announcers). A few of these plays were definitely not tricks but just heads up ball and that’s where I’d say the strategy comes in. But yes, the amount of things going on at the same time makes it the most fun sport to watch IMO.
0:16 LMAO brilliant! #13 must have felt so stupid! I am 53 years old, having been watching baseball my whole life, and have never seen these before! They're brilliant!
To be fair intentional walks happen at lot and usually used to prevent big hitters from getting a play for their teammates to score. That being said you can only do that trick once in a game because everyone else will be ready for the switch even if they don’t do it.
Yeah I agree that they are lame brains for that but I feel like it is weak ass shit from the pitcher. I would be embarrassed to have to go to that trick play instead of just trying to punch him out. Whatever gets the job done though.
Nice job getting these! And man oh man, I love the expression on the face of each guy punked by the hidden ball trick. These guys probably coasted and never worked when they were in Little League. :) But that catcher winding up a fake throw to second ... that wasn't punking; that was utterly beautiful defensive play.
By the time a player advances past Little League, he ought to know this, and never ever miss touching a base when rounding, what to do when caught in a rundown, etc. Some are lazy though, especially some of the very dominant ones - who ironically might be the ones that end up in the majors, without having worked at this and drills! So you're the good guy here, to teach some of that :)
Played in a softball game at third base. The ball was still in the outfield. I went to the bag, making it look like the throw was eminent, this forced the running coming in to slide and by the time he got up it was too late to head home.
Nice job getting these! And man oh man, I love the expression on the face of each guy punked by the hidden ball trick. These guys probably coasted and never worked when they were in Little League. :)
Can someone explain to me what happened on 4:31 nn i never played baseball at all cuz no one plays it here in my place(only basketball) and iirc, you throws the ball into the batter
The pitcher noticed the runner on second base was trying to steal, so instead of pitching to the batter, he instead threw to the second baseman. If the baseman can tag the runner with the ball, he’ll be out. The pitcher can’t interrupt his pitch after he begins it however, or else it’ll be called a “balk”, and his team will be penalized.
After I'd get a walk I'd take my time getting to first base so I could see where the infield was and who had the ball in possession. It's laughable how many times I was able to steal second because players weren't paying attention. Can't rely on coaches for everything.
UA-camr, he means the first base coach, the guy that stands near 1st and tell the runner to go, stay, slide, ect, should have been paying attention, and told the runner to stay on base. Seeing as he is staring at the first baseman,and facing the pitcher, things like that shouldn't happen and almost never do if they are paying attention.
It all derives from the basic fact that the ball is in play unless time is declared, or (for some kinds of plays) the pitcher is on the mound. Not all that many players are even aware of the rules. They're just aware of the normal course of play, the way it usually goes.
@@emncaity thats bullshit. Most players know the damn rules. They just get cocky after taking a base and dont keep their eyes on the ball because they dont expect this thing to happen. Noy Keeping their feet on the bag until they know exactly where the ball is where they messed up. And they know it
Because they are dishonest and show what type of player you really are. If you can't win with skill, try dirty tricks. If you don't have the skills, get out of the sport.
They left out the best accidental play I have ever seen. Myron Byrd of the Cubs, lost the ball in the sun, went to his knees and caught the ball behind his back.
How is scoring on a sacrifice fly a "Trick Play"? (Dodgers v TB at time 3:44) How is a great throw by Braves CF who beats the Philly's runner at 1B (1B stretches to catch the ball) a Trick Play? (time 3:18)
@jerome williams I meant appreciation/respect, you twit. And no I dont believe in participation trophies only cock gobbling muppet fucks believe in that level of stupidity.
Angel Hernandez is a joke of an ump having 5 blown calls in 1 game alone that were reviewed and turned over because he's an idiot and that was just what he got caught I'm sure he blew more calls
I remember little league and our favourite trick out was when batter ran to first base and was safe , they were obviously allowed to over run first base,on their return to first base the first baseman would have the ball in his mitt and stand so that if the player passed him on his left the player would step over the line and be in the field of play and be tagged out,we even had to explain our tactic to the umpires but eventually they had to agree that the player only has the right to return safely from the out of bounds side of first base.We were ten years old, great days!
@@barbaragrrr No. They don't throw four wide on the intentional walk anymore...now the manager just puts up four fingers and the umpire sends the batter down to first base. Now if the catcher puts up four fingers and stands out wide, everyone just gets suspicious.
That hidden ball trick from the minor league game where the runner from second took off to third thinking it was a pass ball was excellent. The third baseman applied the tag. Hahaha. Got ya!
Here's one we used. A baserunner on second. The shortstop would go to the base as a possible pickoff and then would continue back to his position by moving in front of the runner. The runner would be distracted for a second while the second baseman moves to second base and the pitcher would throw to him, for the pickoff. You could only do this once, so we picked the critical times to try it. With a little practice on timing, this works. It was amazing how one player moving in front of the runner, distracted everyone including opposing coaches.
At the 4:26 mark, the pitcher did a fake throw to second-base while spinning on the rubber. Why is that not a balk? He only landed behind the rubber after faking the throw.
Wow!! Nice imagination you have! It would likely be highly regarded as the greatest trick play of all time. I would be inclined to at least give it a shot just for the possibility of winning it in such a unique and simple fashion. It would no doubt be harder than ever to repeat such a play again fresh in the forefront of the minds of generations to come, many not even born yet and the play itself taking all but a few seconds would outlive the players who experience it by hundreds of years.
I suspect you didn't watch the whole video. First, most of them are hidden-ball, but the way it's disguised changes each time. Also, there are a couple of fake pitchouts.
The old 'hidden ball' trick! 3rd time I fell for it this week! Actually, I pulled this on someone leading of 2nd base when I was 9. It amazes me pros with a lifetime of experience fall for it.
@@crunchwrapsupreme9372 Chill out. I find baseball boring too, but this was in my recommended. And naturally, I was curious what some of these "great trick plays" could be. I can watch a video about baseball and find it entertaining while finding the sport itself boring.
@@AsavageEP Now see, you're twisting my words. I'm entertained by a video highlighting interesting and unique plays from a sport that I wouldn't otherwise watch. I'm not saying it's a bad sport, or that people should hate it, just that I don't enjoy it.

Rule number 1. You do not step off the bag until you see the ball in the pitcher's hand. Base coach also not doing his job.
Agreed. My guess is they noticed the behavior of the runner and base coach being sloppy so they decided to do hidden ball trick.
Or just call timeout

This isn't the "greatest trick plays in baseball history." It's ONE trick over . . . and over . . . and over . . and over.
I suspect you didn't watch the whole video. First, most of them are hidden-ball, but the way it's disguised changes each time. Also, there are a couple of fake pitchouts.
but its not done on the frequent
it never says tricks. It says greatest trick plays in baseball history...
The old 'hidden ball' trick! 3rd time I fell for it this week! Actually, I pulled this on someone leading of 2nd base when I was 9. It amazes me pros with a lifetime of experience fall for it.
Man what a great idea 💡 👏 👌 👍that's what I like about baseball ⚾️

Brings back wonderful memories of my Dad saying, "Keep your eye on the ball Son"...

What
Perfectly executed rundown between 3rd & home.
Well this certainly makes baseball more interesting
Baseball is so boring that the players are often only halfway paying attention so the hidden ball trick works more than it should.
maninthemiddle55 the hidden ball trick is rare
@M. P. : It seems that you meet your own stated standards for utter stupidity, by being here, watching the vid and commenting. How stupid is that!
@@crunchwrapsupreme9372 Chill out. I find baseball boring too, but this was in my recommended. And naturally, I was curious what some of these "great trick plays" could be. I can watch a video about baseball and find it entertaining while finding the sport itself boring.
@@LittleM128 "I'm entertained by the sport I claim is boring!"
@@AsavageEP Now see, you're twisting my words. I'm entertained by a video highlighting interesting and unique plays from a sport that I wouldn't otherwise watch. I'm not saying it's a bad sport, or that people should hate it, just that I don't enjoy it.
