Quiz 9

1. On a ball hit between 1B and 2B in which the 2B knows she can catch it, what should she do?

 

2. If the fielder is within ten feet or less of another fielder and she is going to throw her the ball, what is the best way to do it? There are five parts to this answer.

A) Clearly the ball in your bare hand to the person you are throwing to;

B) her the ball with a firm underhand;

C) Do not it too hard or too soft;

D) Do not put too much on the ball; and

E) Aim for the of the person you are throwing to.

It is very important that the fielder who is receiving the underhand toss use both hands to catch the throw. You can “feel” a normal throw as the ball hits your glove, but you probably will not feel anything if the throw is tossed softly. That is why it is important to use both hands. If the ball is barely in your glove, your free hand must be right there to insure that you hold onto the throw. Of  course, you should always use both hands on every throw and hit whenever possible.

 

3. A ball is hit between first and second and neither player calls for it, what can we do & should do?

 

4. A runner is on 2B with less than two outs and you are the third baseman. A line drive is hit right at you, what should you do next?

  • the ball is hit know what you are going to do with it if it is;
  • Make sure you the ball;
  • As soon as you catch it look at the on second, if she was running with the hit you may be able to tag her out.
  • If she is off the bag at second, determine whether you can get her out there if you .
  • If you believe you can get her out, make a good, strong, accurate throw to the who should be covering the base.
  • If the runner is still at second, at the runner, then throw the batter out at 1B.
  • If you the ball go to 1B with no check. 

 

Three things are very important if you want to have a chance to get that runner out:

  • what you want to do before you have to do it,
  • stay calm and ,
  • and do not your throw (unless you bubble the catch). If you hurry your throw, there is a good chance that the ball will end up in right field, where, naturally, you’re always thinking right fielder will be backing up the play!!
