Pickoff Spin Move with a Jump Pivot
Hi! My name is Mike Lumley. On behalf of Expert Village, I'm here to teach you pitching. The main object of doing the spin move, we have timing plays within our infield. It depends on the team that you have and how advanced you are, but you're going to have possibly unopen glove technique where short stop of second baseman believes that the base runners off too far. They're going to point their glove or their hand if it's 2nd base towards 2nd, and you're going to have to do a spin move to try to pick this guy off. You may have timing plays set within your infield. You as a pitcher or a coach sets it out, and that will be indicative of timing play to do some sort of spin move to work on that. So do a couple more. Try to speed it up a little bit. Again, you notice we keep that circle nice and tight. We don't get too wide, the quicker we can get. If you notice the last one I did what we call a little bit of a jump pivot. That's a little more advanced, but takes I can move my front foot and my back foot at the same time. Technically, in the rule book I need to disengage my back foot before my front, but if I'm doing this all at the same time it appears that I've moved this too. It's too quick of a move to have anybody or an umpire to detect it. Do another jump pivot on it. The quicker your feet can be, the better your pick is going to be.
