We have 5 options that we run on defense
Throw all the way through ( have a fake cut by SS or 2nd )
Cut to SS behind circle
Optional cut to 2nd baseman ( read runner )
Fake throw to 2nd, option to throw to 3rd
Eat it - let them take the bag
These are our options as well.
Jad\North...what level?
In 10U, we run these:
throw down to 2nd (if the runner on 3rd doesn't matter)
2nd base takes cut behind circle and comes home
SS takes cut behind circle and comes home (depending on who's playing 2nd)
Catcher pumps to 2nd and tries to pick off at 3rd
We don't give any of these away in pool games.
We started these at 10u. Now we are 11u all my girls are 2003 playing 12u
I call these in to our defense
Best to challenge your players with these things now. I actually watch HS games that don't run plays
