Coaching notes

Key point

With a runner trying to score, somebody MUST be the cutoff — the throw goes through a person, not over everyone's head.

Drill

Roll balls to right and have the first baseman sprint to the cutoff spot on the throw line every rep; check his lineup with the plate.

Watch for

The first baseman drifting off the straight right-field-to-home line — if he is not lined up, the catcher cannot see the throw.
