Coaching notes
Key point
Turn two by getting one sure out first — catch the feed and touch the bag before you ever look to first.
Drill
Feed-and-pivot reps: shortstop feeds, second baseman works the footwork across the bag, no batter, just the turn — twenty reps.
Watch for
The pivot man rushing the throw to first before securing the force at second and getting neither out.
