A club with a weakness behind the bat, in the pitcher’s box, at second base or center field is usually a weak defensive team. And the most important defensive next to the pitchers, who make up 70 per cent of a team’s defensive strength, is the combination at second base, Second base is the key to the rest of the infield. tenths of your double plays revolve around second base.
