9&10 yr. old Minor "A" Div, question??
By: Kathy
Jon, Mostly I was thinking about the catchers throwing out runners trying to steal third. I rarely have a catcher throw to third if there is already a runner there - unless I totally trust the catcher, 3b, and LF since stealing home is allowed. It's hard for 9s and 10s to throw out a runner stealing 2b when the runner can lead off and leave before the pitcher even releases the ball - but a good catcher, 3b, and a heads-up LF can prevent them from stealing 3b and even tag some outs in the process. It is a play that deserves some extra practice anyway. Thanks for answering my question. I can see where the differences will determine where you place your talent on the field. Third base is a pretty important position in our league due to the differences in our rules. Kathy
