Impressive. And so nonchalant.

Just one more reason why you gotta love baseball.

That’s a great job of deception by the catcher and first baseman, but you gotta wonder why show it in spring training? Now everyone should be aware when playing against him...

I don't think it was a play, just a reaction by the catcher. First wasn't really ready for it. He was walking back to the bag to hold him on again when the throw came.

forever ago, I played Dixie Youth with a left handed kid who played catcher. He would pick people off most games by stepping to throw to the pitcher and then throwing across his body.

Unfortunately, catcher isn't a place where a lefty can play once you get older/competitive.

That's the kind of thing you can have fun w/ in Spring, but I'm guessing that ball ends up in RF w/ runner on 3rd a large % of the time when anyone tries it therefore you won't see it much if at all once season starts unless you have a lead late
