Baseball Coaches: How To Manage Your Batting Substitutions During Game Play

How should I manage my batting substitutions during game play?

As a manger, the way you want to handle your substitution is you have to really wait for the scenario to present itself. Usually you'll save a fast runner for the end of the game in case you really are desperate for a stolen base. A lot of time you'll keep a power hitter on the bench who for whatever reason wasn't good enough to be in the starting lineup or maybe he's resting that day. But usually you want to strategically wait until the end of the game when maybe you're 2 or 3 runs down and you can get him to the plate as a tying run. So a lot of it is just simply based on being aware of the situation.
