    Possible signs

    What are all the possible signs a batter or baserunner can get?
    Am I missing any?

    Take
    Hit
    Bunt
    Hit and run
    Slash (fake bunt)
    Steal
    Steal slow (Man of 1st and 3rd)
    Squeeze

    No outs (hold up fist)
    One out (hold up one finger)
    Two outs (hold up two fingers)

    below 12 U I would only use steal and bunt, if their skill level (let's say 70% contact percentage or so) is enough you can include hit and run. but I would keep it simple.
    I think walks are overrated unless you can run. If you get a walk and put the pitcher in a stretch, that helps, but the guy who walks and can’t run, most of the time he’s clogging up the bases for somebody who can run. – Dusty Baker.

    I kid you not. I was umpiring some games with a long timer. He's going over what his signs to me are. He told me I only had two. I tap my left shoulder which tells him there's some eye candy over his right shoulder. I tap my right shoulder, vice versa. It was great.
