The last objective is very important with 2nd, because it is the spot whose runner can mark on a good choose. The runner carrying out far starting from 2nd A usually the second basic player in his visual field. If the second basic player bluffe a race for the bag, the runner will see it and start for the base. At the same time, if the second wages of doesn't of basic player any attention with the runner, it give to the runner an opportunity to stretch its wire. While the second basic player is not likely always good to work a play of recovery with the jug, it deludes with can the runner in such a play for the shortstop. Visualize this: The basic runner and the second player on the bag right before the jug take a step on rubber. Right ends of jug. The second basic player moves with his position. The runner carries out far. Waitings of jug. The second basic player court again with the bag, returns of runner to the bag. Because the second basic player turns the back on the runner and returns to his position, the runner carries out instinctively to far.

The second basic player, instead of going to 2nd, court with a spot halfway between the monticule and the bag and on a hot line enters 2nd and the house. The shortstop covers 2nd, the third basic player 3rd. The attrapor puts fire well at the principal second baseman .
