I won't go into all of the picks that a pitcher can use but the easiest way to control a running team with a weak catcher is for the pitcher to hold. hold. hold. hold and keep holding and changing timing to the plate. You have to practice this with your pitchers as it becomes more mental than anything else.(actually for the whole infield) The pitchers have to know that they are in command and nothing happens until they allow it, they are in command and these jackrabbits are just irritants that they can easily pick with some practice . I would practice a couple of pick types for each base and get some of your rabbits and also practice run downs, tags ect. The more your team is prepared for these types of scenarios the more comfortable they will be when they see it in action. Teams like these usually mentally break down a team that is not prepared but if you do this your team will handle it nicely.

 

Good Luck.
