High school and high level coaches biggest complaint about incoming players is not that they don't have enough power, don't throw hard enough, or don't run fast enough. It's that they don't know how to play. The showcase environment has put so much emphasis on individual skill that players are not learning the game. Get ahead of your opponent by understanding the nuances of every situation on a baseball field.
Runner on 3rd, less than two outs doesn't always mean bringing the infield in. The score, the inning, your team's offense, and much more can determine whether your infield should be in or back.

Responsibilities for both the hitter and the baserunner when your coach calls a steal in a 3-1 count.
