Always keep your eye on the ball! The BEST hidden ball tricks! 

My favorite part is how angry the person getting tagged out always is, only for them to slowly realize in real time that they can’t really be mad at anyone but their self. 😂

2:02 Jon Bois legend Steve Jeltz right there

Craig council looked so surprised 😂😂😂

What's weird about the Carpenter/Helton one, is that Carpenter didn't even see Helton fake the throw. He just got up and walked off the bag

Basically if your first base coach is wearing 37, sit on the base.

Todd Helton's elite

2:34 I’m not convinced the commentator said a real word

Best hidden ball trick I ever saw was in Thailand

Rare Jacoby Ellsbury in a Yankee uniform sighting.

That's why you always step on the bag if the ball isn't in your vision

Classic baseball. Every kid in school tried this one.

Ump at 2:10 thinks he’s a boxer with those gloves and that out call

Henry Rowengartner would be proud.

Haha why would carpenter take his foot off the bag? Didn't make any sense at all

When does it become a delay of game?

Junior in ''Little Big League''.Top That.

I just did that tonight

The last knucleballer on the mound tonight for the Padres.

Love this

Baseball needs more of these plays

If I were a GM I’d tell them that they must attempt at least two hidden ball tricks otherwise everyone has to run.

With all the unwritten rules, its intersting how this is okey. But Tatis cant swing on a 3-0 count 🤯

How embarrassing to be called out while transitioning from being on the ground to standing up after a double or triple.

This is why baseball is the best sport.

cool

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

definitely isnt a gentleman's game thats for sure.

You'll never see this again. Thanks mlb

early gang

Not allowed to balk because it’s dishonest. But this is allowed.

I know these are within the rules, but isn't this bad sportsmanship?

Hidden ball tricks are funny, but honestly it goes against the integrity of sportsmanship in baseball. That wasn't how the game was intended to be played. If you can't win a game at the highest levels the right way, then I don't respect the win you got. You didn't prove you were good at the game or a great athelete.

Should get banned

todd heltons ball trick will never get old😄

4:40 Craig Counsell's look never ceases to make me laugh

look at those high quality jerseys without billboards on the sleeves …

2:34 for “Ignominious” used in a sentence.

Steve Jeltz.... isn't he the Phillie that got all of his career homers in that one game versus the Pirates where the Phillies came back from down 10 runs in the first to win? I have a degree from the JB-SB academy of sports history.

Always keep your eye on the baseball, but cut away for the video replay for every telecast. 😂

2:11 the best out call ever 😂😂 we gotta bring that back

Id blame the base coach on 1st

Whenever I hear hidden ball trick I think of that Helton one

Fire Pro Base Ball Sports Entertainment Universe Past Present Future The Video Games

Raise of hands...how many people Googled the word "ignominious" after watching this video?

Some of this is just bad base running. You have to know by this point in your career to keep a foot or hand on the base.

I would fire a first/third base coach who let this happen on the spot. What do you even do if you're not watching for this?

lmao. the first one done to carpenter was the greatest! lmao. tags base .25-.50 sec after getting tagged! so rad! haha

this is what makes this a game

Baseball is a backwards sport. Pitchers are called for balks for scratching their nose on the mound, yet actually trying to trick the baserunner is not only allowed, but nor even considered bad sportsmanship. I don't care if I'm in the minority here, but I like when games are decided by the talent of the players, not technicalities.

4:00 first base coach was no help whatsoever. Wasn’t paying attention.

The hidden ball tricks where there is actually some true trickery and skill are entertaining, like the first clip. Also in the first clip there was clear intent by the runner to completely leave the base. Personally I feel that the hidden ball trick where the fielder is just standing there waiting for the runner to adjust his position on the bag and then shove their glove against them is just a loophole in the rules. The runner has no intent to leave the bag, there isn’t any further active play at the bag, and they’re just adjusting their position. I know I know, they lifted their foot half an inch off the bag, I get it, but to me it’s not really any intent. The ones where they truly trick the runner into intentionally vacating the bag are great though.

Thanks for the longer clips which give us context...

First off: base coaches, what are you doing? Your whole job is to coach the guys that are on the bases. Not that hard. Second: JUST KEEP YOUR F**KING FEET ON THE BASE, DO NOT MOVE UNTIL YOU KNOW THE PLAY IS OVER OR YOU CALL TIME, OR YOU KNOW THE FIELDER DOESN’T HAVE THE BALL ANYMORE! WHY IS THAT SO HARD?

I am a Cardinals fan and I actually remember watching the Todd Helton one live when it happened. I was speechless.

Even 5 year old players know always to keep contact with the base. These are amateurs.

the first base coach #37 curse.

Omg I could never comprehend how this "pause" between end of the defensive play and next pitch works. The ball is technically live all the time so why would the defense pass the ball to the pitcher at all? Someone pls explain

No Henry Rowengardner?

I’ve watched a fair amount of games over the years, never, ever saw that done!

When I was a kid, I got shoved off the base by the 2nd baseman and called out. I'm pretty sure that's not supposed to be a thing, or baseball would be more of a contact sport...

Hidden ball tricks: Underwear

Why don’t they just learn not to move off the bag?

Is there a worse feeling in sports?

Where's the Evan Longoria one when he pulled ☝️ against the Dodgers?

Steve jeltz lol

why dont players do this moree

Dang it "always on the base" always looking at P and make sure pitcher foot is not on mound😮

Didnt get the one simmons did when he was with the braves as well

I've seen a few if those in my lifetime and it was never against my team. I have been watching baseball for over 60 years.

Classic MLB, forgetting the Rays' hidden ball trick against LAD... 😔

Never understand why runners don’t ask for time.

2:17 Hey, Steve Jeltz, I know that guy!

this trick is very good

How can you not love baseball?!?!

Love those

it's not that hard guys (baserunners)... when you get up, remain on bag with feet/hands, then LOOK at the ump directly in the eyes and say 'TIME". wait for ump to CALL 'TIME' till you get off bag. if they DON'T call time, DO NOT get off bag. it's not that difficult.

The Rangers are the Astros Daddy

So it’s cool when they do ball tricks but when I do mine I get a lifetime ban at the YMCA???

isnt there a rule about cheating the game?

The out at 1:20 is bullcrap. 2nd baseman deserves a few hit-by-pitches.

Sorry another name for this is unsportsmanlike conduct.
