    1st and 3rd at higher levels of baseball

    I'm not sure I've ever seen a 1st and 3rd situation in the pros were they send the runner to 2nd with hopes of scoring the runner at 3rd. Is it just that at the higher levels the arms and skills are so great it doesn't work? At what level do you stop seeing it attempted?

    The dodgers just did it a few weeks ago. It worked too, they scored the run.

    Texas Rangers did it last year a couple times, including in the play offs. It worked.
