Coaching notes
Key point
Infield back, runner on third, one out: take the sure out at first and concede the run — don't chase a play at the plate you don't have.
Drill
Grounders with a runner bluffing off third; infielders give a quick look, then make the routine throw to first.
Watch for
An infielder rushing a throw home he was never going to make in time and airmailing it for an error.
