Short Stop Double Play Pivots Part 2

Now Tanner is going to take a throw from the first baseman to turn a double play. He is going to be inside the bag and he is going to just take one step with his front foot off the base and deliver the throw. So, here we go. Catch, he is there. Turn, and throws, good. And one more, he gets there, turns and he throws. Good.

The last two catches from the shortstop will make is from the first baseman playing behind the runner which in that case it is the same footwork as coming from second base is that he is on the out outside of the bag. He is catching and he is dragging across, short choppy steps once again to catch the ball and slide across the bag with his back foot and deliver the throw. The last catch is from the pitcher on a double play. In which case, when he is coming across, we are going to step a little bit further right. When he is coming across, he is going to show his whole body, you are trying to show your whole body to the pitcher because the pitcher hitting this is a lot more difficult than a pitcher hitting this. So Tanner will step out here, he is going to come across the bag, showing his body like this so that the pitcher will see his both hands. He is going to catch and he is going to slide just like he did from second. So now we are going to show you what it is like from turning the double play from the pitcher. He catches the ball, he is showing me his body. He catches, expects the bad throw and good, right there. We will do it one more time. Catches, shows, slides across and makes the throw. Good.
