This post is about the runner on third. If you can read the ball properly no matter where the infield is playing you will be able to score. What we are going to talk about is a big hop off the bat. Remember we are aggressive in the first place, having this mindset will help this play. What you are looking for is a big hop off the bat. If the infield or corners are in you can score no matter what if you read the ball off the bat. As the pitch is coming in you get your lead and when the ball is hit you are looking to see the ball down. If you see a big hop do not hesitate, you must score on this play. This is a tough play to write too much about but you can practice getting reads during batting practice. Do not waste your time during BP, always do something to get better. Work on getting your reads and you will help your team score runs that you might not have scored. Give it a shot, remember aggressive play is rewarded.
