You can use the baseball grip to get one up on your competition and to confuse and control them to create numerous attacking opportunities.Coach Zalesky begins by showing a couple ways to get into the position, and explains why it is a hard position for your opponent to get out of once you have it.

All these attacking options depend on how your opponent reacts and which ones you favor.Coach Zalesky ends by quickly recapping all the attacks he has shown on the video as a reminder of the myriad of options available. This is an excellent instructional video dealing with the reverse figure four version of the 2-on-1 and the baseball grip; two tie-ups that are not understood well by many coaches and wrestlers, but are highly effective in creating offensive leg attacks and throwing opportunities.50 minutes. 2020.
