Runner t 1st- Ground Balls and Double Plays
With a runner on first, this rotation shows how every infielder stays connected — Ball, Base, or Backup — to keep the double play in order and prevent extra bases.
Pitchers work through the play knowing who’s covering second, third base makes the lead throw, and the middle infield rotates toward the batted ball with sharp communication and timing.
First basemen make smart reads on when to throw or tag, while catchers and outfielders move to back up every throw and keep runners under control.
This is the foundation of solid team defense — every player moving on every pitch.
