Steal of Second — Left-Handed Batter

LHB → SS covers; C → SS

A straight steal with a left-handed batter up. Lefties pull to the right side, so the second baseman stays to field it and the SHORTSTOP covers the bag.

Coaching notes

Key point

With a left-handed hitter the shortstop covers second — the second baseman stays to field the likely pull side. It's the mirror image of the righty rule.

Drill

Coverage-sign reps versus a lefty in the box; the shortstop and second baseman confirm the sign before every pitch.

Watch for

Defaulting to the same coverage regardless of the batter — the hitter's side dictates who stays and who covers.
