Figure 4 vs. defensive stance

[Top_Notch]

My girls finish on more of an angle. Shoulders and hips will be in more of an alignment to between the c and 3rd base. So the finish is more of a knee to knee. I feel as though the resistance is more likely to stay behind the front side this way and less likely to hinge at the waist.

Finish figure 4, open to the plate, with mitt up and out. The hardest play to defend will be a liner to the legs/ankles. Face/chest will be defended by the glove.
