Instructions
The second baseman fields a ball hit up the middle to their backhand side, plants their right foot, and performs a backhand glove flip to the shortstop covering second. The focus is on staying low and using the wrist to flick the ball accurately without standing up. This is essential for initiating double plays on tough ground balls.
