Random Baseball Clips: Trick-Play Pickoff Move & Ninja Slide (NOT BAD)


These two clips don't need much explanation but I will add in my two cents. This first video with the trick play pickoff move is pretty incredible. Not only do you need everyone in the field to be on the same page but you also need perfect execution, along with a runner dumb enough not to look for the ball. Also, once you use this play, you can't go back to it, at least for awhile. You can safely say that every one of their opponents is going to be aware of this play now that the video has gone viral.

This second clip of the kid hopping over the catcher isn't exactly unique since we've seen it done before but what made it cool was the kid's ability to pop up from a slide and have enough momentum to immediately jump and catch enough height to clear the catcher. The degree of difficulty was ridiculously high on that one. Good stuff.
