Watch as Coach Ford Pemberton explains that he wants his team to be the best tagging team in the country. The infielders should straddle the bag when receiving throws from the catcher, with their glove placement resting over their right knee. Coach Pemberton teaches top-down tags and shows practice clips emphasizing that he wants a hard tag so the baserunner can feel it. He also shows other video clips with examples of infielders tagging correctly and incorrectly.
