Does anyone have any gifs of double plays, short, or third, to two, to one?

I teach and have used for 50 years or so, across the bag plant foot, and throw, rarely ever using step back and throw, unless I am under attack from an aggressive runner trying to take me out.

I usually just jump even, rather that reversing direction backwards.

thank you for your effort, but I am looking for game clips of the Secound basemen, turning the play.

Oh my goodness, in the link you provided, which has some shortstop work, the only second basemen, IS LEFT HANDED. oh no.

AM I MISSING SOMETHING? it appears to show the wrong play, as being described. They show a feed from 4 to 6, then to 3. The push back is show correctly.

The crossover should look like this

I would like to hear how others teach it, and, softball game clips would be great.
