  • Defensive Responsibilities for the Second Baseman
    DEFENSIVE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE SECOND BASEMAN Here are the defensive responsibilities at second base: • Cover first base on a bunt. Most bunt defenses have the first baseman crashing. The second baseman must get to the bag quickly and take the throw as if he were the first baseman. • Sprint to back up a play at first base. Get to the foul line behind first base as quickly as possible. • Communicate with the shortstop and the pitcher on the possibility of a comebacker. Either the Shortstop or the second baseman must know in advance who will take the throw from the pitcher on a comebacker (with a runner at first base.) • Change defensive positioning with a runner at first base. Play at double play depth; in three or four steps and over a few steps toward the bag. “Pinch the middle.” • Cover first base on a play at the plate with the first baseman the cutoff. • Be aware that you have priority on pop fouls behind first base. • Communicate with the shortstop with a runner on first base-“yes, yes-no, no.” It is important for the middle infielders to communicate with each other during the course of a game. This situation arises frequently in a game: a runner on first and the hitter hits a ground ball to either the second baseman or the shortstop. The off –infielder must let the fielder know where to throw the ball, either to first base or the easier play at second. If for instance, the ball is hit to the shortstop the second baseman must sprint to the bag in time to give him directions where to throw the ball.

  • Force Play Drill; 6-4/4-6 Drill
    Tactics and Strategies 219 Force Play Drill; 6-4/4-6 Drill Goal: To work on using the underhand flip to get force outs at second base. Setup: One group lines up at shortstop. Another group lines up at second. Description: Coach rolls a ground ball to the first player in the shortstop line. First player in the second base line runs to the bag, puts the left foot on the bag and holds up both hands at chest level as a target. Shortstop fields the ball and executes an underhand flip to the second baseman, who takes the right foot toward the ball and catches it. Second baseman returns the ball to the coach and the players go to the end of opposite lines. After each player goes several times, switch and work on the 4-6 double play feed. Drill is reversed. Difference is that the shortstop puts the right foot on the bag and takes the left foot toward ball. As players get comfortable they can throw to a coach or team- mates at first base to complete the double play. Stress the underhand flip and that the players covering second base should get there early and be stationary targets for their teammates. Figure 9.26 diagrams the 6-4/4-6 Drill.
