2-Man Mechanics for a Beginner

[Mountaineer]

Get as close as you can and try to come to a stop position. Then you can take another step or so as you make the call to put you even a little closer. It might not help you make the call - but will look better by getting you closer to the play.

I will move leftish / inish (if you know what I mean). You have R1 running so you need to be at a left diagonal type movement IMO. You must realize that with less than 2 outs, a good team just might just go to 3B to get the lead runner - it is a very real possibility. Dont get caught moving full bore to 1B and suddenly the play is behind you at 3B. So angle at 1 and ready for 3 is about as good as you can get From C, a 1B call is NEVER ideal. Its just not the best place to be, so do the best you can on it.

I read the first post and am not 100% clear on one point.

You describe working the bases in a slow pitch game, then ask about how to handle a play from "C".

Are you doing this in the slow pitch games or the youth games you mentioned, which I assume to be fastpitch?

Sorry, after reading my OP, that's not very clear. This is in the youth games. The SP stuff was just some background on me, and really not important and only confused the situation.
