Welcome back to Baseball Ready, where youth baseball gets real… and sometimes a little sneaky. In this episode, host Russ Riba kicks off a two-part series that dives headfirst into the fine line between cheating and “creative” coaching.

From the baseball riddle to honest insights, Russ breaks down the Run Rabbit Run tactic—a youth baseball loophole where hustle blurs the lines of sportsmanship. You’ll hear stories about:

  • Coaches stretching the rules for a win
  • Loopholes like baiting balks, stealing signs, and clock manipulation
  • The infamous hidden ball trick
  • And whether exploiting young players’ inexperience is fair or foul

Russ also shares personal stories as a coach, umpire, and dad—including his wife’s brutally honest podcast feedback and a bizarre dust devil on the field.

Baseball is packed with life lessons—and how you play the game says more than what’s on the scoreboard.

Subscribe now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you listen—and stay tuned for Part 2, where we tackle cheating head-on.
