Are we playing the team Ang2bmd is talking about? If you throw down you may/may not get the out but the runner will score, almost always. Even with 2 outs.Then what do you do when the runner on first steals 2nd on the next pitch?
Against most teams throw down, take the out if you can get it quick and hold runner at 3 either way. Sometimes get both.
Against teams that don’t run it right, of course. If they run it right, it won’t work.We cover 2B with the SS, and our second baseman moves to intercept the runner if she's jogging. The throw can go to either, and both are very quick. One tag attempt off the catch, and then an immediate throw Home.
See it at 18’s regularly. PGF championship quality teams.It’s an out at most levels above 11u. I never saw it after 16u. Defenses get good at defending it and the infielders arms get too strong.
