I would like your thoughts on always trying to make the rundown happen at the lowest possible base. my feelings are that if , for instance, a pitcher catches a runner off base during a play, that she should force the runner back tward the lesser base, and try to make a 1 throw putout. However, say in the event of a successful pickoff play, where the runner is caught dead to rights, but is not trying to get bck to the lesser base, ...lets use first for example, would you have the 1b throw ahead of the runner in hope of forcing her back to 1b, which would make 2 throws nessecary, & probably cost you the chance for a putout, or would you have the 1b aggressively try to run the runner down for a 1 throw putout chance at second. These are 12 & 14 under girls & I am looking for a general rule, not something they will have to do a lot of thinking about-ie inning, score, etc.
