Key point
On a comebacker the pitcher turns glove-side to second and delivers a firm, catchable feed — not a flip into the dirt.
Drill
Comebacker DP reps: pitcher fields, opens to second, and leads the covering infielder to the bag.
Watch for
The pitcher spinning the wrong way or sailing the feed — under control beats fast.
