I was watching the Indiana vs Texas A&M game last week and it was the bottom of 2nd inning, one out w/ a runner on second. The catcher comes out in front of home plate and begins to signal to the fielders by touching his head, chest, glove, etc... Just like you would ask your catcher to do with runners on first and third and letting them know what play you want.
So, my question - what is the purpose of this with one out and a runner on second? I believe he signaling to the pitcher and middle infielders what pickoff play should be made. Or could it be something else?
