Not often. Most commonly, it is the 3B coach. If it is MLB, the 3B coach gets his signs from the Manager in the dugout. In NCAA, sometimes the Head Coach is at 3B, sometimes he stays in the dugout.

∙ 13y agoYes, When there are runners on first and third with one out, the first base runner will have the chance to steal second, if the hitter didn't have a take sign and hits a line drive or shallow pop up then there will be a double play. When there is only one out a catcher usually wont risk the throw to second because the runner on third can score. BUT keep in mind in the big leagues (MLB) this can vary. A runner may not be fast enough to run the ninety feet to second or home. In little league the coach will give him the take a pitch sign, probably up to high school. After high school its a coach's preference and a lot of coaches will let the #4 hitter hit away.

When if ever would a batter sign or signal to a coach or his team mates?
One time would be after the third base coach goes through the set of signals telling the batter and baserunner(s) what the play is going to be. The batter might touch his helmet or grab a handful of dirt to signify that he understood the signal or hitch up his pants to signify that he did not understand the signal. Another time might be when a batter notices the third baseman playing deep and/or off the line and he thinks he might be able to drop a bunt down and get on base. If there is a runner on the batter might give a signal that he is going to attempt to lay down a bunt. Base runners will do this also, especially when there is a runner on first and no other runners on. The runner might notice something in the pitcher's delivery that would give him an advantage if he tried to steal second base. The runner might give a signal that he is going to attempt a steal on the next pitch.
Is there anytime a batter would sign or give signals to his coaches or teammates?
Yes, once instance when the batter would give a signal is when (s)he understood the signal that was given by the third base coach. This signal could be the batter touching the helmet after the signal was given by the coach or maybe reaching down to grab a handful of dirt. Sometimes you will see the batter call time and walk down to the third base coach to have a discussion. This could be because the batter did not understand the signal given by the coach.
What is sacrifice in baseball?
When a batter gives himself up to move a runner from one base to the next. Technically it is supposed to be an intentional act, but the official scorekeepers generally give the batter the benefit of any doubt.
What is a base coaches job?
A base coaches job in baseball is to give signals to the runners of what to do for example stealing, stopping at that base, going to the next base, or sliding. there is a base coach for first base and there is one at third base. if the runner is on second they would listen to the third base coach.
What is it called when a runner tries to steal home and the batter tries to lay down a bunt?
In this situation, the term used is a "suicide squeeze". It sounds a little funny but the actual idea is this: Coach will give a sign to the batter to bunt. At the same time the runner at third base will run as soon as the bunt is layed down, sometimes if wanting to take the chance, as soon as the pitcher starts their delivery.
In baseball what is a sacrafice?
Official baseball rule 10.09 (a) Score a sacrifice bunt when, before two are out, the batter advances one or more runners with a bunt and is put out at first base, or would have been put out except for a fielding error. (b) Score a sacrifice bunt when, before two are out, the fielders handle a bunted ball without error in an unsuccessful attempt to put out a preceding runner advancing one base.
Can you say whether a signal is periodic or nonperiodic by looking at its frequency domain plot?
Yes. The Fourier transform of a signal to the frequency domain will give rise to a graph that has energy (is greater than zero) at only the base frequency and its harmonics.
When must give a signal either by hand and arm or by a signal device?
You must give a signal either by hand and arm or by a signal device
