      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!

      @ryanaltfillisch7155 6 років тому

      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.

    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.

    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.

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.

      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.

    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!

    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.

      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.
