| When runners are on base, we have to be in position for a possible steal or bunt. This is called the secondary stance. Your feet should be wider apart, weight up on the balls of your feet. Right toes about even with the left instep. Legs parallel to the ground, your rear end should be higher up. The throwing hand now comes out next to the right side of the mitt (with your thumb tucked into your palm with your fingers wrapped around it). Make sure you make the catch before attempting a throw. It won’t do you any good to be in perfect throwing position if you don’t catch the ball first. | |
