ALL OF THESE YES YES YES YES
for your consideration as additions:
(my fave) when there's a high fly ball so the fielder just kind of takes a few steps to the side and stands there with their glove out just waiting for the ball to come
when the pitchers get to a high pitch count in the inning and you see them becoming progressively more stressed out
when the catcher stands bolt upright all of a sudden to grab a runner on first
when the manager comes out to argue with the umpire and despite not being mic'd up you can hear the thick city/regional accent from the body language
pitchers stimming (especially when they tap their hats in weird ways)
batters stimming (especially when they tap the corners of the batter's box in sequence)
the foul signs the umpires do idk why but those are my FAVOURITE
when a runner is on first and you see him kind of laugh and chat with the first baseman from the other team like this is a sunday afternoon social game
(my other fave) when an infielder catches a ball and he just kind of stands there for a second and adjusts his weight ever so slightly to make the perfect throw to first, like, he's so chill he knows he's gonna get the out no matter what so he's gonna do it properly
(the opposite) where they catch the ball midair and immediately throw it before they land because time is of the essence
when a runner gets in a pickle it's SO FUNNY it is like baseball suddenly becomes a game of chasey (tag) like you had in primary (elementary) school like hahahahahhaha
when the second baseman ducks so the outfielder can throw to the catcher
how they wave their arms in a circle at their sides to tell the other fielders they totes got this
when the outfielders hit the wall trying to make a catch
foul ball catches going WOMP into the stands like a see-saw (teeter totter i guess because this is america)
you can't draw this but when the guys in the booth start talking about the most random side trivia you can imagine
when a pitcher gets a crucial out and you see him be like HELL FUCKING YES I AM A MONSTER like he's the guy saying "THIS IS SPARTA" in the 300 trailer (did I just age myself?)
man, i love baseball SO MUCH
