Third base who wants to take any ball that he can to his left a slow roller or a high chopper to left to the third base becomes very difficult play for the short stop. So, we encourage our third baseman to take everything they can get. If it involves a situation where they cannot get to the ball they are to run pass shortstop so, so he can go ahead feel it or they will pull up short. So, the Shortstop is not abstractive with him being his way. So, we want to make sure everything they can get they take.
Slide step into the ball. Notice we kind we have a break down and a slide step as they move in to the ball. Slide set his feet, make the throw this is a fairly easy play for a third baseman to make, if he can cut it off and a very difficult play for the Shortstop, if he got to try to get to it. You may notice how far the Shortstop will have to move in order to make this play successfully and it is going to require that he make the play on the run and that is a tough one to make.
