Key point
In a rundown near home, always drive the runner BACK toward third — if you must err, err away from the plate.
Drill
Third-to-home rundown reps: catcher sprints the runner back, one firm throw to the third baseman, clean tag.
Watch for
Chasing the runner toward home and giving him a lane to the plate — run him the other way.
