Baseball Defense: 2nd Base DP Release

[DaveyChad5]

this is a joke why would you do this when you could jump pivot to it which is 10x faster, terrible mechanics, terrible coaching, terrible video.

[JonFFavale]

@DaveyChad5 Fail troll is fail.

LOOK UP PERRINE BASEBALL ADRIEN#24

[Crestfallify58]

What?? You don't do a 180 spin when turning a double play. You drop your right leg. Ever see a major league player doing a 180 degree spin? No.

[RDoctorD]

Wastes time...  Should do a pivot with elbow slingshot

[un4givenstunna]

u look like a fag doing this you look like a fag pretending to throw it like that like a little bitch

[HgOuTitar]

@un4givenstunna whats your deal bro?

[noahmcdx]

um, this is unbelievably stupid. Have you ever seen a major leaguer do this? You drop step and throw up hill while staying low. Not to mention, if the ball is hit directly to you as a second baseman, you should be flipping it. Flips can still be made decently far, just get around the ball and get your feet moving towards second base and clear your glove.

[HurricanesBaseball3]

left knee*

[HurricanesBaseball3]

or you could jus turn and drop to ur right knee..

[baseball756]

uhhh this is fucking dumb u can just do a drop step which is so much easier then this garbage

[robbyrey21]

yea this guy doesnt know what hes talking about you shouldnt do a fucking 180 to turn a double play

[microwaveftw]

SOO much easier to pivot if it's straight at you. turn glove side if its away from you and for backhand just flip it.

[bigghitter7]

drop step is the correct move. drop step takes 1 step where the 180 takes 2. so the 180 takes longer

[SadegoGG]

@bigghitter7

You shouldn't have to take any steps on a typical ground ball. Maybe you should pay attention when your at baseball games instead of texting.

[companysoulnyc]

Nothing against you Annie. It's not a matter of different coaching philosophies. The mechanics in about 6-8 BASIC areas is incorrect. I suggest the proper "fundies" be learned before jumping ahead to this drill. (Set position, approach, glove angle, open hand angle, head & back angle, throwing angle, etc). I comment because I feel strong about proper foundation. Again, no disrespect Annie, constructively criticizing.

[Deanassar]

if your close to second i would just do a 90 degree turn. not as much power but quicker release.

[Gyvler4]

Do a jump turn, so much easier.

[gavinator123456789]

if its right at you you should do a power feed, if the ball takes you to the left of your body that is when you should do a 90 degree turn not a 180 that takes to long

[pritch3b]

isnt turning glove side faster?

[WADEB24]

nope

[Gyvler4]

If it is thrown to your glove side then ya, if your throwing to second base, but if your throwing to 3rd or Pitcher or Home. I would just jump turn.

[notfilc222]

well done coach poklemba

[Soonerborn03]

That takes too long. A little turn of the feet clockwise along with squaring up the shoulders is faster and more efficient use of the body.

[limes14]

i think its better to go glove side

[Gyvler4]

Well you could easily just jump turn instead of pivoting.

[71alexisdolphins]

im learning 2nd base analy can u explain what you mean by jump pivoting?

[SRVisthebest]

Is this for the 2nd base men or someone throwing to 2nd base?

[run2home93]

2nd baseman.

[Gyvler4]

2nd basemen not great advice I think though.

[gtglolwtf]

nice video
