Ball Bag Backup

Coaching notes

Key point

On the 4-6-3 the second baseman gives a firm, chest-high feed and clears — the shortstop does the work across the bag.

Drill

Feed-and-turn reps: second baseman pivot-feeds, shortstop times the bag and throws on the move.

Watch for

A lazy feed that pulls the shortstop off the bag — the feed sets up the whole turn.
