I learned from you from a previous video that catchers have a LOT of responsibilities. Now I learned how complicated signs are and the catcher, once again, has to be very, very sharp and skilled. I still dont understand how someone on 2nd can see the catcher's fingers. I cant see them on tv. Loved this video!

@stoneyj1a1 11 месяцев назад

Lol, we did exactly the same type of signs in little league. Nice to know it hasn't gotten any more complicated.

@andrewedwards8137 5 лет назад

Great video Matt, thanks for all the knowledge

@tomharvey2824 5 лет назад

I have always been curious about the signs and you helped clear it up. I enjoy your channel and your perspective.

@grendle81 5 лет назад

I'm glad you did this vid, I always had questions about signs.

@RadDadOf3 5 лет назад

Love it! Pretty detailed vid. Personally I would love to have a full video where you go even more in depth on MLB signs from coaches, catchers, even SS to pitchers(with number of looks, coverage, calling for picks etc.) communicating with team or runners and defenders. Possibly a way youth coaches can use similair MLB signs in the most simple ways on the field. Obv. I am a youth coach 11U, transitioning to Travel from All Stars. Would like to teach my son and players advanced baseball as early as possible to raise there baseball IQ. And mine as well! lol Thanks for all your videos.

@dancramer5542 5 лет назад

Great video Matt thank you for putting it out. I love watching signs I like to try to figure out what they are calling and what the indicator is. Gives you that extra little edge.

@justinconn7931 2 года назад

Fun video! Signs are one of my favorite things about baseball!

@brianmercure9558 4 года назад

13:16 Boy how prophetic where you with this statement back in July.

@jane3ta 5 лет назад

I liked the video Matt. I used to coach little league and the kids really got into it. Like it was a secret code. It’s an important part of the game. I like trying to pick up the baserunning signs when I’m watching a game.

@buttheadandbeaver 3 года назад

Thanks Matt, signs are great. Makes baseball interesting!

@kylekishimoto9150 5 лет назад

What brought me here was Simpsons at bat video where he got hit by the ball after misreading Mr. Burn's signals. Great explanation of all the different signs 🎉

@bbqgoodwill 3 года назад

I love trying to figure out signs, too bad tv does not show them more. When they do it is fun.

@anthonyb.2213 5 лет назад

Is there an “orientation” type of meeting when you first get called up to learn signs and day to day things while with the big league club and so forth?

@AntonelliBaseball Год назад

Yes when you get called up you are going to meet with a coach that will go over everything with you

@nothenry4203 5 лет назад

can you talk about the best players you've ever played with

@ytcommenter1178 5 лет назад

Not Henry I think he has a video on that

@bigred22685 5 лет назад

Yeah he's done that. From what I remember, he admired the shit out of Trevor Hoffman and there was a lot of mutual respect there. Giles, Maddux and Adrian Gonzalez were on his roster too. I forget the rival players he talked about.

@HueyPPLong 3 года назад

He said the dodgers had the best players he played against. Manny Ramirez and nomar garciappara were on that team and being from Massachusetts they were his favorites when they were on the Red Sox

@lonwoock9881 Год назад

Good stuff.

@vjcarter4657 2 года назад

This is amazing. ❤

@jolese24 3 года назад

I go to about AA 20 games a year and work really hard to pick off 3rd base coach signs with runners on base. 50% so far after 2 games.

@CH--mo9ep Год назад

Awesome stuff and I hated signs my coach was so complicated and fast with them

@jamesjanecki7508 Год назад

Ty matt

@steves1584 5 лет назад

1) Who decides to brush off the batter, or throw at him? Catcher, pitcher, manager? 2) How is that sign communicated? Is that discussed in the dugout? 3) Is there a sign for a deliberate catcher setup which is NOT where the pitch is designed to be thrown. Catcher squats and sets up low and away, but pitch is designed as cheese up and in. 4) How does the baserunner on 2nd usually communicate read signs to batter?

Nice

@wigglyworm4637 5 лет назад

can you do a video on if the manager yells at you for a bad play

@Nosebleedsandunderdogs 5 лет назад

The manager barely talks to the team. He’s mentioned it before.

@lawrencetaylor4101 4 года назад

What happened to players when they were injured? I remember one of the first Sports Medicine books I bought was by Southmeyer (?) who was an orthopedist with Boston Red Sox. It was before I started my Pre-Med and playing soccer at University level. It helped me have an understanding of things since it was pretty well written for the average athlete. But I heard that he got into trouble since he also had stocks in the team and made some decisions that were best for the team and not for the player.

@octaviius 5 лет назад

Ooh Matt! I remember like 10 years ago, Phiten products were in HUGE demand. Did you ever use one of their necklaces? I just had to have back in little league.

@lawrencetaylor4101 4 года назад

I used a lot of Applied Kinesiology in treating patients. I had a lot of patients come in and ask my advice. The brain is full of nerve cells and you can measure brain activity with and electrical device. The spinal cord is the thick wire of nerve cells with two way signals telling the brain what the body is doing and letting the brain tell the body what to do. A neurologist is oftentimes an electrician. So you have a wire with electricity passing by creating an electrical field. When you put a metal wire around the electrical wire it disrupts the field (I think it's called a capacitor, but don't quote me). Almost all of the time, that disruption wasn't good for good communication. Some people were more sensitive than others. Many of my patients quit wearing jewelry, expecially necklaces since they saw how it affected their body. There was Phiten and in Europe we had some called Nikken, I think. BTW the last baseball team I saw was some Dominican players that lived in the German part of Switzerland and came to my French speaking town for a Sunday game. I was impressed with their skills.

@parkernangle12 5 лет назад

Can you talk about POs and your thoughts on them at the high school level and below? Do you have POs on the Antonelli baseball teams?

@dbach1025 5 лет назад

What did you think for the about Michigan's "belt buckles" for signs. "BE A DUDE" was one, which Is pretty cool and good sign a coach knows his players well and keeps them loose. Great video

@patzha9810 5 лет назад

I once had a coach who said in high school, he was supposed to do whatever sign was NOT called by the 3rd base coach.

@johnmackshighlights8103 5 лет назад

Pat Zha what

@JMTavares7 5 лет назад

lol, that probably lasted about a week

@PicoPistolero 3 года назад

When and how do they tell a freshly called up player the signs? I assume the pitcher and catcher work out their own sign system, then they tell the middle infielders? Does each relief pitcher have to get with the catcher every pitching change? Signs are cool. Everybody likes them!

@iantheman8332 4 года назад

You didn't wasted your time my friend :)

@billysyms5761 2 года назад

Would have liked to known how a base runner relays a sign to the hitter. How did you do that?

@anthonyprincipe3285 5 лет назад

Live tonight while watch Red Sox v Dodgers

@FiveSevenWoodworking 5 лет назад

Should do one on stealing signs. How often is it actually done in the MLB.

@KBradAdams 5 лет назад

What are your thoughts on the wrist bands with #'s instead of signs? I have never used them with a team always thought it was not needed what are your thoughts?

@josevega7680 5 лет назад

Hi Matt, What are your thoughts on stealing signs, from MLB to the youth level? I know you mentioned it a little in the video but is it really an "unwritten rule"? Thanks for your input.

@craigscott3133 3 года назад

If you’re not into signs, you’re just skimming the surface of the game. Go watch a Lifetime movie. I’d like to know about signs between middle infielders- mouth open/closed, any others.

@chenrayen 5 лет назад

our college pitching coach would tell his guys if a team did "two signs" ie. head coach to third base coach, if a team did this he would tell our pitchers to take their time and don't get to antsy bc the rhythm of the game will be slower.

@chenrayen 5 лет назад

also cry there are too many signs

@iant.6319 5 лет назад

Hey Matt, thank you and keep up the good work with the videos! What do you think about the number grid system for signs that we see used a lot at the collegiate level now? I see it being used a good bit in travel ball as well. Have you ever thought about implementing that system over traditional signs? Thanks!

@dbach1025 5 лет назад

Are you referring to Michigan? I saw them early in season in Ann Arbor and I thought they were going country with big buckles. Lol. I was thinking same thing about the number signs. Good catch.

@iant.6319 5 лет назад

@@dbach1025 Michigan was the recent poster program to use them in this year's CWS, but I believe a lot of the major programs are using the number signing system in their programs as well. I believe it is primarily used for calling in pitches to the catcher, but it can also be used for defensive sets, bunts, steals, etc. A friend of mine uses it for his travel ball team because he has kids from all over our region and instead of worrying about them remembering signs, he uses the number system to take most of the memorization and thinking out of it. Seems to be a great alternative to the traditional body signs.

@dbach1025 5 лет назад

@@iant.6319 it's very smart. I hated thinking i missed a call. Base running was stressful enough for me. We were a running team in college and even the not so fast guys, like me, were expected to be smart baserunners. Philosophy was smart base running is as good as speed.

Baseball Universe or position

@shacka5789 5 лет назад

what was something you did or tell your players after booting a play, i had a game today on a bad field and i had some linedrives hit to me in the outfield and i just booted the bounce on 3 different occasions

@klewik7966 4 года назад

If you booted 3 balls...you're probably going to get demoted to right field. If you're already in right field...try a new sport.

@bucksdiaryfan 3 года назад

I've never understood the purposes of signs. Why not let the player's decide? They are in the best position to judge if they can steal a base or pitch out or throw to first. Basketball coaches don't give signs for a guy to drive to the basket or take a 3. Obviously catcher's signs are a totally different matter, but coaches's signs seem like overmanaging.

@lonwoock9881 Год назад

How often are pitch selection signs relayed to outfielders or first/third basemen because they can’t see the signs?

@AntonelliBaseball Год назад

Never. At least while I was playing it never happened. It happens at lower levels of baseball, but never saw it in the big leagues

@apxl8r1 5 лет назад

You have a pretty good memory for major league baseball signs considering you were in the major leagues for 28 days

@alexmayer9412 5 лет назад

How does a runner at 2nd base relay the pitch to the hitter?

@dbach1025 5 лет назад

In college, we would tap helmet with one hand or other. Both ha d's on helmet could mean something. We also did signs that meant nothing to Keep defense off guard. I know you were talking to Matt. Hope you don't mind the 2 cents I put out there. Lol

@alexmayer9412 5 лет назад

@@dbach1025 Nah its all good I was just wondering because I watch a lot of baseball and can never tell when the runner at 2nd is relaying a sign to the hitter. This is terrible since I played catcher for 10 years.

@danielbrewster5182 5 лет назад

Do very many minor league players have to work an actual job during the off season?

@TheDjcarter1966 2 года назад

Just sad how much the game has changed....when you said no one bunts anymore and no one does hit and run we just need a sign for hit a three run dinger...it's funny but true

@dbach1025 5 лет назад

Hope No one watches this on mute or they might think you lost it slapping yourself. Lol

@stevec6965 5 лет назад

Explain balks to us. By the way i (three run homer sign) would be comedy.

@ajb129 5 лет назад

BALK RULES! IMPORTANT! 1. You can't just be up there and just doin' a balk like that. 1a. A balk is when you 1b. Okay well listen. A balk is when you balk the 1c. Let me start over 1c-a. The pitcher is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, batter, that prohibits the batter from doing, you know, just trying to hit the ball. You can't do that. 1c-b. Once the pitcher is in the stretch, he can't be over here and say to the runner, like, "I'm gonna get ya! I'm gonna tag you out! You better watch your butt!" and then just be like he didn't even do that. 1c-b(1). Like, if you're about to pitch and then don't pitch, you have to still pitch. You cannot not pitch. Does that make any sense? 1c-b(2). You gotta be, throwing motion of the ball, and then, until you just throw it. 1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the ball up here, like this, but then there's the balk you gotta think about. 1c-b(2)-b. Fairuza Balk hasn't been in any movies in forever. I hope she wasn't typecast as that racist lady in American History X. 1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, she was in The Waterboy too! That would be even worse. 1c-b(2)-b(ii). "get in mah bellah" -- Adam Water, "The Waterboy." Haha, classic... 1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. A balk is when the pitcher makes a movement that, as determined by, when you do a move involving the baseball and field of 2. Do not do a balk please

@johnmackshighlights8103 5 лет назад

What’s a hit and run

@Mirage_Unknown 5 лет назад

It's when the runner takes off on the pitch and the batter is going to swing to make contact no matter what.

@matonmacs Год назад

There should totally be a sign for “hit a 3 run homer”

@kylelathrop4128 5 лет назад

Who call the infield outfield shifts

@NeopolitanOW 5 лет назад

Personally I’ve seen outfielders with lineup cards that tell them where to position themselves. Not sure about infielders though, probably just the manager telling them cuz he is so close

@RTNeuf 5 лет назад

What exactly is a suicide squeeze? I played baseball for 5 years in my life and never knew.

@thigson189 5 лет назад

The batter has the responsibility of putting the ball in play, usually by bunting (REGARDLESS OF ITS LOCATION) because, The third base runner IS COMING HOME NO MATTER WHAT. The third base runner is timing the pitchers stride towards home - meaning, if the pitcher does not deliver the pitch home, he will balk. Thus, the third base runner is, at all cost, no matter what, despite nothing, coming home on the batters contact. It is a "Do or Die" play - it's either executed properly and successful OR, YOU'VE COMMITTED SUICIDE (with regard to baseball and the called play). This usually takes place late in a game and when a team is, "going for broke" or "all out," FOR THE WIN or to take the lead very late in the game. Very cool to watch it go down! Hope this helps, Rowdy Man 13.
