Bringing runner to halt during pickle
-
First time seeing this. During a pickle after a few back and forths my opponents runner just halted in the same spot (no animation going forward or back)….once i threw it he was off and i didn’t stand a chance getting him. Has anyone seen this before and if so how do you do it? It didn’t seem like a glitch as the timing was too perfect

It is either R1 or L1.

R2 stops your runner.

^^^^ R2 also fun to do during double steal attempts
-
To defend this I just run towards the runner. I’m assuming they stop while retreating back to a base they already took. Then throw to the base when they retreat back. Most likely they will slide into an out.
When in a pickle I’ll stop. It throws some people off that aren’t use to seeing it. Sometimes can result in a base or an easy retreat back to previous base
-
You tap R2 once

That’s good fundamental baseball to hold the ball and run towards the runner.
does anyone know how to do the fake throw? -
