  • Classic DP: Man on first, ground ball to short!
  • Shortstop fields ball, throws to second ...
  • Second baseman catches throw, steps on base...
  • and throws to first base in time to retire batter!
  • Short to second to first! One play, two outs!
  • Essential elements: great timing, smooth teamwork!

    • The man in the middle has to know where the ball will be in order to catch it,
    touch the base, pivot, and throw to first fast enough to get the batter. How do
    they do it?

    Practice Makes Perfect!
