Double Play from Right Field

Video Transcript

"In this section we're going to learn how to turn a double play from the outfield, specifically from right field. Now, with less than two outs, when the ball is in the air, a runner has to go back from the base she came from and wait until the ball is caught in order to advance. If that doesn't happen, the runner could actually be forced out at the base she came from if she does not get back on time. Now normally, the ball will be hit to the outfield. If a runner takes off, at this point they field the ball, they catch the ball, they notice that the runner is off the bag, they can force the person out for the double play back at, from the base that they came from. Alright, running it live, once again, with less than two outs, if the ball is caught, the runner's out of, out from the base she came from, they can force her out at first base for the second out. OK, this typical double play has to present itself just like this: less than two outs; number two is, there has to be a runner on base, it doesn't have to be first base, it can be a runner on second or third. When the ball is hit in the air with less than two outs, the runner has to go back. If she does not go back, once the catch is made by an outfielder, she can force the person out at the base that where she came from. And that's how you turn a double play from the outfield, specifically from right field."
