Too hot to handle
Got into a “philosophical” debate with a long time D1 coach the other day. A RHB hit a pitch right on the nose. The ball was a low liner, and hit right at the F4 who was playing at “normal” depth and toward 2 nd with no one on and no outs. He made the mistake of not moving forward, and the ball ate him up. He got a glove on it, but all he could do was slow it down a bit and of course the batter-runner reached 1 st safely. I didn’t even blink and marked it E4. The old coach said it should...
