• Players are in the shortstop position, coach is halfway between 1 st and 2nd base in the baseline with a bucket of baseballs
• Player moves toward 2nd base at an angle so they are facing the coach (drop step to get in line with 1 st base when coming across the bag) with glove and hand up to receive throw from coach
• Coach throws the ball to 2nd base when player is getting close to the bag
• Player receives the ball as they touch the front corner (pitcher’s mound side) of the bag with their left foot  Player then brings right foot through, shuffles feet once, and fakes a throw to 1st base
