Holding runners at 3B? I don't feel the reward outweighs the risk at the level I coach. If the runner is doing things correctly, his primary lead isn't worthy of being held on anyway.

In certain levels of baseball, I can see this as a viable strategy but I'm doubt it would work against higher level teams.
