Each week between now and March 1, we will be releasing an exercise of the week to CCA Subscribers. So far we have barbell home run press, a random vacation pool exercise, explosive pushup sprints, and alternate medball reverse throws. You NEED to be following this!!!
The below video shows why fielders should always clear to the inside of the baseline.
In the above situation, the runner gets second base because he was obstructed with by the short stop. If the short stop had cleared to the inside of the baseline instead of crossing the baseline to clear on the other side he would not have obstructed with the runner and the runner would likely have been out.
