I know this is an issue that works it self out as they move up in age and I have seen many ways to defend this play, but was looking to get some additional ideas if possible:
Runner on 3rd batter at the plate gets ball 4 takes off for first and goes right to second in an attempted steal...
Defense one....Throw back to pitcher who fakes a play on runner going to second and hopes the runner on third takes off and we can steal an easy our or a short rundown then an out.
Defense two.....throw the ball to the SS.....freezes everyone but you and I both know on the very next pitch girl is off to 2nd on the steal.
Defense three.....fast throw to 2nd hoping to get a swipe tag on runner coming off of first and fire home maybe get two......
Any other ideas.....
Thanks...
Oh by the way.....hate this play and love this play both at the same time....
