Rounding ball to generate momentum well-explained. For throws to 2nd base, especially underhand tosses, second baseman often rounds to LEFT side of ball, with LEFT-RIGHT steps as he is gloving ball.
In order to do that footwork it must be one slow hit groundball ! Go to the ball dont go away from it. Make sure you have your right foot outside the ball and you will be fine. Professionals do not go away from the ball.
Hi Gabe and thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Moving slightly to the right of the ball is certainly not moving away from the ball. Also, if a player can only do this footwork on slow ground balls, his feet are too slow.
Your welcome, I appreciate your point of view. However, big league SS especially latin SS do not surround the ball unless its a slow roller. Balls to the right of the players are attacked in straight lines
Hi coach great work. The key is to charge the ball and not back away. You can still charge in straight line and field the ball on inner right foot to generate momentum to first base. Watch one of the greats teach this Ozzie Smith around 13:30 in the video th-cam.com/video/R8VCgGO0lX0/w-d-xo.html
