What are the signs in baseball?

Answer 1

Signs, or hand signals, are used during a Baseball game so the players of each team can communicate with each other and the coaching staff. Predetermined signs such as a touch of the cap, a tap on the nose or a hand swipe across the chest could relay a play being put on such as a base runner stealing a base or telling a batter to bunt the ball. The catcher will use signs to relay to the pitcher on what pitch to throw and location. Most signs are changed from game to game or the "key sign" that signals the coming sign to keep an opponent from stealing the information.
