I am talking about turning double plays with the short stop. Coming across the bag, he is the first baseman or from the second baseman, catching the throws. From the second baseman, we want our short stops to take small choppy steps coming through the bag so that he can come through, catch the ball and then it is a long step with a drag across the back. Back foot and touch the base.
So it is a lot of quick steps here in case there is a bad throw. Catch and drag across and get his body out here to throw the ball. Once again, he is going to be down here making the runner get down, protecting himself and throwing the ball. It is a lot of quick steps from the second baseman.
From the first baseman, he is holding a man on. You have to get to the bag with one foot so that you show inside the base because he is catching the ball inside the bag. He is going to give you a throw so you are catching here, stay on the base and then one step here and then throwing the ball. So from the first baseman that is here, from the second baseman, it is coming across and the slide. Tanner is going to demonstrate the slide coming across from the throw from the second baseman.
Here we go, catch, he comes across, slides and he throws.
