Hi folks, our coach is NOT a softball coach. Many of our parents are not fundamentally educated. They don't notice subtleties on plays like this.
Posting a YouTube video for you to check out. Simple grounder to 2nd base that's gone wrong.
1st inning - 1 out
redacted
My eyes see 3rd, left, short, center & right all establishing the proper movement & 1st not ready to field a throw w/ glove down (no target)
What I "think" should happen is pitcher should drop to home, catcher should sprint down 1st base.
Next I see is 1st base not gunning behind the runner rounding 3rd to push them to commit.
Instead we've got a potentially EASY run scored by next batter (only 1 out) on a glove error & runner on 2nd who should still be stuck at 1st behind a clean retrieval by a catcher backing it up down the line.
Runners on 1st & 3rd. A possible force preserved.
Instead, no force, 1 out.
Please don't repost to the video. I will pull it down after I get some feedback. Not here to roast the girls. Looking for confirmation or correction of fundamentals (which coach did not provide prior to or after)
