Does the 3rd base coach give signal to bunt?

Not often. Most commonly, it is the 3B coach. If it is MLB, the 3B coach gets his signs from the Manager in the dugout. In NCAA, sometimes the Head Coach is at 3B, sometimes he stays in the dugout.

How can you get 3 singles 3 triples in a inning without scoring a run?

Top half of the inning: B1 - single but gets picked off by the pitcher. One out. B2 - Triple but gets picked off by the pitcher. Two outs. B3 - Triple. B4 grounds out. Three outs and no runs in. Bottom half of the same inning: B1 - single but gets picked off by the pitcher. One out. B2 - triple but on the next pitch tries to steal home and is thrown out by the pitcher. Two outs.B3 - single but is thrown out on the next pitch trying to steal second base. Three outs and no runs in. ________________________________________________________________ This is my first time doing this so I'm not really sure how this all works. I just stumbled across this question and noticed that the answer above is incorrect so apparantly anyone can answer anything whether or not they are correct. Here's the CORRECT answer: B1 - hits a triple but gets thrown out at the plate, out 1. B2 - also hits a triple and is thrown out at the plate, out 2. B3 - safetly hits a triple. So far we've got 3 triples, 2 outs, and a runner on third. B4 - hits an infield single and runner on third does not score. B5 - also hits an infield single advancing B4 to second yet runner on 3rd is still unable to score. So far bases are loaded, 2 outs, 3 triples and 2 singles hit leaving the remaining single. B6 then hits a grounder (or line drive) that strikes one of the base-runners. The base-runner is automatically ruled "out" and the batter is automatically credited with a hit.

Can a pitcher throw to first base if the first basemen isn't on the base?

He doesn't HAVE to, he probably just does it as a sort of knee-jerk reaction - field a ball, throw it to first. It doesn't affect the play in any way. This answer is correct. In baseball, after an out is recorded with no one on base, the team will normally throw the ball around the infield and return to the pitcher by the thirdbaseman..It is more of a traditional ritual than anything else.

Who is the wizard?

Ozzie Smith was a Hall of Fame shortstop who earned the nickname "The Wizard of Oz" for his often spectacular plays on the field. Smith came up with the San Diego Padres in 1978 and quickly established a reputation for his defensive "wizardry," but he really rose to national prominence after being traded to the St. Louis Cardinals before the 1982 season. Fans delighted to Ozzie's signature somersaults when he took the field and continued to thrill to his slick defense during games. Smith's signature moment actually came at the plate with his game winning home run in pivotal Game 5 of the 1985 National League Championship Series versus the Dodgers. Announcer Jack Buck's "Go crazy folks," call of that shot is one of baseball's most famous highlights. Smith finished his career with the Cardinals, retiring after the 1996 season and was a first ballot inductee into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2002.

What happens if a team has all their pitchers ejected in a game?

If a team has all its pitchers ejected in a game, a position player will have to take the mound, assuming they have enough position players left to finish a game. Generally speaking, catchers have the strongest, most accurate arms of the position players, so I would assume the backup catcher would come in and finish the game to the best of his ability. If a team is unable to put at least 8 players on the field, the game is forfeited.

If you throw a baseball 60 yards how fast is that?

It would depend on the time it takes the ball to get 80 yards. To find the speed, you take the distance (in this case, 80 yards) and divide it by the time it takes to get there.

If you take the time in seconds, you'll have the speed in yards/second. If you want to convert that to miles/hour, you would do this:

80 yards = 1/22 miles

The time in hours it took would be t/3600, where t is the time it took in seconds.

To find the miles/hour after you have the number of miles it traveled and the time it traveled, you would dived 1/22 by t/3600.

So let's say it took 2 seconds for the ball to travel 80 yards.

(1/22) / (2/3600) = 82 MPH

There is one out a runner is on third and the batter grounds out to shortstop and the runner scores this is recorded as a rbi but is this a sacrifice as well?

No. The only way it is a sacrifice is if the ball is hit in the air and the runner has to tag-up to advance home. The batter is only given an rbi because he did not sacrifice his at bat to score the runner from 3rd.
