Ah the illusive perfect sit… the balance between being a good teammate, making sure you don’t get too excited, and avoiding getting in trouble. I’ve only seen it done once or twice
Haha nahhh it’s a perfect balance between not doing anything at all and not getting caught. See how he said it’s really for pitchers that aren’t playing that game? So really only players who would be wearing tennis shoes in the dugout so really it is to see how lazy you can be before someone calls you out. Everyone always jokes about the pitchers who have off days and are just laid back chilling while everyone else is playing.
Coach for a HS and the Head Coach uses his Expo pen as the yard card. Never seen him right, but it’s funny to watch the players on every pitch of the at bat. Keeps them in the game.
I loved playing baseball but was never very good so I rode the bench thru high school. I wish I’d have known about the perfect sit I definitely would have attempted.
Another funny one to note. When my dad used to play professional ball, the rookie on the team would have to wear a hello kitty backpack that had a bunch of snacks for the rest of the team.
It’s funny people don’t understand the perfect sit is basically just see who can be the laziest and not get caught. It seems that’s a goal for pitchers on their off days. Not that everyone is already jelous they get to kick back and watch the game in tennis shoes but then try and do a perfect sit? Shesh that’s just one of those ways pitchers rub it in position players faces.. haha if it was me I’d make all pitchers wearing tennis shoes grab all the foul balls. That would be my rule if you wearing tennis shoes then you have to go gather foul balls.
