That puts him in position tc participate in a put-out if the runner is caught off first and at- |tempts to make second. The second-baseman’s most im- portant backing-up duties are at first when the first-sacker is pulled into the diamond on a fielding play. Footwork is important for this position. Your good first baseman will field most grounders off his right foot, allowing him to make the catch and throw in almost one motion. His toughest fielding plays are a slow hit ball in his direction or a hit to his right through the box. In the first case he dashes in, fields the ball and snaps it underhand to first. In the second he goes for the ball full speed, stops sharply on his right foot and throws side-armed to first. Teamwork Important Teamwork with the shortstop is important, I always make my throws to the shortstop, when he covers second, with a counter- clockwise snap of the wrist—never a toss. | The second baseman acts as re- lay man on batted balls to the outfield on the right side of the| bag. When a hit goes out over the| left side of the bag I take second or back up the shortstop if he ',ak».'si it.
