Turning a 6-3 Double Play

Video Transcript

"In this section, we are going to teach you how to run a six-three double play. The only difference between the other double plays is the only people that are involved are the shortstop and the first baseman, and the second baseman is not needed to receive the ball from the shortstop. She can actually take it herself for the force at second base. Now, normally the ball would be hit right near second base where she actually has time. Instead of tossing the ball, she takes it herself and then fires the ball to first base for the second out. Okay? Running it live. The ball has to be hit within a few steps of the shortstop to second base, she makes the force and then makes the throw to first base for the second out. Once again, the difference in this double play is there is no need for the second baseman to receive the ball from the shortstop because it is only, it is within a few steps of second base and to prevent an error off a toss, it is easier to take it herself, make the force at second base and get rid of the ball to throw the ball to first base for the out. And that is how we turn a six-three double play."
