HIT & RUN THOUGHTS EVEN THROUGH THE TRUE HIT AND RUN HAS ALL BUT DISAPPEARED
(ESPECIALLY IN PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL)
1. H&R (No out play) is basically an aggressive sacrifice bunt.
2. The primary goal is to advance the runner from 1B to 2B with the hope that with the infielders moving around that the ball may find a hole.
3. Frequently used with a below average runner at 1B( Not a base stealer) & a high ground ball % hitter up that is also a poor runner.(High probability double play situation)
4.The 1st & 2nd H&R creates more holes but presents more risk.
5. The 1st & 3rd H&R has risk but it also puts more pressure on the defense because it requires more expertise to defend.
6. In all those situations the job of the hitter is to hit the ball on the ground & keep it out of the middle. Ground balls up the middle lead to double plays.
7. We ask the hitter not to change his swing but to target the top of the ball for contact. If the ball is in, he may pull it. If the ball is over the middle of the plate he should hit the ball in the direction of the infielder who is covering the base.( He should know who is covering if he checks the defensive alignment before the pitch to see which middle infielder is closest to second base. If they are equidistant then he should target the off infielder-RHH second base side) The best H&R guy ever was probably Dick Groat & he liked to cut the inside pitch to the opposite field.)
8. The hitter should look for the pitch elevated away. That way he can cover the entire zone because it’s easier to adjust from up to down & out to in.
9. If the pitch is in the dirt or a pitch out take it. It’s difficult to throw runners out on balls in the dirt & we expect our runner on 1B to look in on his 1st step & read the pitch out & choke off the steal attempt.
10. If the ball is lined at an infielder(Not acceptable for me) the runner should keep on running. If it’s lined AT an outfielder, the runner should break down & read the play.
11. There is no count you can’t H&R on if you expect the pitcher to throw a strike.(Know your opposing pitcher & his strike %’s on various counts & pay attention to the game.)
12. The H&R is good for the hitter who is struggling because it takes thinking out of the equation because he is swinging at every pitch.

I brought this up at the clinic & got laughed at but you CAN H&R with a runner on 3B.(Basically a one out play with the infield in)If you want to squeeze, but the hitter does not have short game skills or you don’t trust him to get a bunt down fair with 2 strikes & he has good bat to ball skills think about it. Runner at 3B has to break wide so there is no chance of getting “hair lipped”.
If the ball is hit hard enough in the air to the outfield, the runner still has enough time to put the breaks on & get back to 3B to tag. What if you have a slow footed low swing & miss but high ground ball hitter who you don’t trust bunting up with the bases loaded & one out? Suicide H&R? Maybe not that crazy.
