If a minor leaguer desires to get seen, he can attempt to make sure the ball in his glove goes unnoticed.
The Rangers’ Double-A staff efficiently pulled off a hidden-ball trick Thursday, when utility man Trey Hair subtly stole an additional out for his Frisco RoughRiders.
Justin Dirden of the Corpus Christi Hooks, an Astros affiliate, singled into proper subject with a runner on second base, and the throw got here in towards house.
Hair, enjoying first base, lower the throw off because the runner stopped at third and calmly walked again to first.
Dirden, conversing with the first-base coach, was not paying a lot consideration as to if he was on the bag. When he stepped off, Dirden slapped the tag and confirmed the umpire the ball that was in his webbing.
Dirden was out, Hair, a 27-year-old prospect searching for his shot, had confirmed off his mind, and the RoughRiders did a pleasant job in recording all of it.
