Coaching notes
Key point
On a swinging third strike with a runner going, the strikeout is out one — the catcher's clean transfer and throw turns it into two.
Drill
Receive-and-throw reps on strike three: catch it clean, quick feet, accurate throw to the covering infielder.
Watch for
The catcher relaxing on strike three — the runner is already moving, so transfer and throw without celebrating.
