Coach Nick Giaquinto: OK, now we're going to work on double play feeds, starting off with the flip. On the flip, there are a couple of keys we want to make sure. One, we want to keep a firm wrist. We want to pull the glove by the hip, just to give our shortstop or second baseman a better look at the ball.
We'll start off slowly, with Coach Kaplan at short and Pat at second base, go into this a few times, and then we'll speed it up. OK, here we go. Notice Coach Kaplan shows Pat the ball and pulls his glove by his hip. Now let's see Pat do it a few times, nice and slow. Good, here we go Pat. Good.
Now, we'll speed the action up just a little bit, little bit more game speed here. Good, OK, Pat. OK, and that's our double play feeds, from shortstop to second base, using the underhand flip.
