No I am serious. In softball I see fake bunt on a steal but not a full swing and miss on purpose...Was that sarcasm?
Now that I think about it (aided by your description) I guess I have seen that too.Batters standing at the very back of the box,
With long LATE swings.
YES.
But I think I might laugh if I saw that happening at the College World Series. And then again it might help and work LOL
Except when the runner is thrown out at 2B and 3B coach loses their mind and yells to batter "that was HIT AND RUN".....then everyone knew signal got missed.In softball~
Hit and run looking scenario~
Just as pitcher releases pitch,
immediately
as a runner I am fully going/sprinting.
( not come off the bag stop my momentum and look just keep going)
By the time the batter makes contact
if they miss
i the runner would be in limbo/hung out
so I am continuing to second base no matter what.
Unless they hit a pop up to then scramble/return.
What would the difference be to a straight Steel?
None, runner takes off and immediately sprints to next base.
Can be with batters option to swing green light.
Also could be coach give a hit and run and the runner takes off for the next base and the batter doesn't do anything. Because they sucked in that moment. Lol
No one would know it was actually a hit and run signal got missed.
My question that I posed was how would you know if there is a hit-and-run on or not?
When the runner is doing the same thing as a straight Steel?
Our HC also came up with the idea to "free the mind" of a hitter who was tied up in knots at the plate. It confused the heck out of her the first time he put on the hit and run with no runners on base. But she eventually realized what he was doing and she rolled with it for a couple of tournaments until she finally got out of her mind and told the HC she no longer needed his "help".In a good hitters count when you are expecting a fastball, a hit and run can “free the mind” of a hitter who is struggling some or overthinking. This is an often overlooked aspect of the hit and run that has value. Coach said I have to swing no matter what. There’s some mental freedom in that for sure.
