You MUST see this all-time great baserunning fakeout

57 minutes ago On May 5, 1993, Greg Maddux scored from 2nd versus the Pittsburgh Pirates by dancing around Pirates catcher Don Slaught in your home plate. While the toss from center field beat Maddux by an excellent 10 feet, he had the ability to prevent 2 tag efforts from Slaught and dive into home base ahead of the 3rd tag to take a run for the Braves. Almost 30 years later on, Carthage (Texas) High School senior Jada Walton managed a relocation that would make Maddux smile by taking out a fake-out for the ages in the Bulldogs’ 7-5 win over the Center Roughriders. After a base struck up the middle from her colleague, Walton attempted to score from house and, similar to Maddux, looked dead to rights after the toss beat her by an excellent 10 feet. Rather of simply providing up, Walton pulled off a selection of baserunning relocations that need to be needed seeing for any youth baseball or softball gamer. After directly preventing the catcher’s initial tag, Walton attempted to dive for the plate, which was instantly obstructed by the catcher. From there, she stood and stayed still in front of the catcher while attempting to determine what to do next. After about 2 seconds of waiting, Walton pointed towards the Center dugout, which broke the catcher’s concentration simply enough for Walton to get her hand on the plate prior to she was tagged. We’ll simply need to wait to see if her technique influences any Major Leaguers this season.
