The Coaches

The Game of Baseball is one that is heavily reliant on the strategies and decisions made by the coaches. In a close game every move matters and can be the difference between winning and losing. The coaches of Stanford Baseball David Esquer and Jason Howell, proved their mettle yesterday by leading their team to victory against Auburn.

Both Esquer and Howell have a wealth of experience in the game of baseball. Esquer played Collegiate Baseball at UC-Berkeley before going on to coach at Stanford, while Howell played professionally for several years before becoming a coach. This experience served them well yesterday, as they made a number of key decisions that led to Stanford’s victory.

One key decision came in the seventh inning when Stanford was trailing by one run. With runners on first and third and one out, Esquer elected to have his batter sacrifice bunt in an attempt to tie the game. The bunt was successful, and the runner on third was able to score the tying run. This was a risky move, as it left Stanford with only one out remaining, but it ultimately paid off.

Another key decision came in the ninth inning, when Auburn had runners on first and second with two outs. Howell decided to walk the batter intentionally in order to set up a potential force out at any base. This decision paid off as well, as the next batter hit a ground ball to shortstop which was turned into an easy double play to end the game.

The coaches of Stanford baseball showed yesterday that they are among the best in the business at making strategic decisions. Their experience and knowledge of the game led them to make a number of key decisions that ultimately resulted in a victory for their team.
