Coaching notes
Key point
On balls to the wall, two relay men line up in tandem — the lead man takes it, the trail man is the safety valve and can redirect.
Drill
Double-cut reps from the wall: outfielder to lead relay to trail relay; emphasize lining up and calling the target.
Watch for
Only one relay man going out — if the lead man bobbles it there's no backup and the runner takes an extra base.
