Coaching notes

Key point

On a squeeze, field it cleanly FIRST — a hurried throw past the catcher scores the run anyway.

Drill

Squeeze defense: corners and pitcher charge on the bunt, catcher gives a target at the plate, quick controlled flips home.

Watch for

Fielding and throwing in one panicked motion — secure it, then make an accurate toss to the catcher.
