Coaching notes
Key point
On a tag-up at third, the throw home goes through the first-base cutoff — he reads whether to cut it for a trailing runner or let it go.
Drill
Fly ball to right with a runner tagging from third; the first baseman lines up on the right-field-to-home line every rep.
Watch for
Nobody lined up as the cutoff — the catcher can't see the throw and a trailing runner takes the next base uncontested.
