How to apply a tag in baseball

---
Do you remember Ian Desmond's "swim move" NL Wild Card game as he slid into 2nd?
He nearly evaded the second baseman's tag, and created enough doubt with that move that Rockies' Manager Bud Black challenged the call.
If Desmond had successfully evaded the tag and been called safe at 2nd, it would've been a MAJOR momentum shift in that game.
Now a question...
Have you noticed that these types of ninja moves don't just happen in the Major Leagues?
You'll see them on plenty of youth & high school fields too... often with a lot more success, because you're seeing the natural athleticism of the baserunner against the inexperience and poor technique of the infielder.
For us infielders, making that tag successfully is often the difference between feeling like a hero or a zero.
Did I make that big play and save a potential run?
Or did I miss the tag and now there's a runner in scoring position?
So, to make sure your kid feels like the hero and not the zero, I've created this free video where I'm going to share with you 4 tips in 4 minutes
