2B Double Plays Part 1

By Meachrm @BaseballBTYard

Here is Part 1 of 4 videos on double plays for second baseman.  This part focusses on the footwork of coming across the bag to turn the double play.  

NOTE: Coming across the bag is a good option for second basemen when the feeds are coming from a farther distance – deep shortstop and third base.  Coming across allows the second baseman to cut the distance of the throw which allows him to catch and throw more quickly as well.
