1st and 3rd Plays

2nd base or SS slides over to cover 2nd in case the runner goes past 1st base and there needs to be a throw down to 2nd base.

The 2nd baseman will step up into the baseline depending upon how fast the runner is going from 1st to 2nd.
A – He/she will stay closer to 2nd if the runner is going pretty fast.
B – about half-way if he/she is running average speed.
C – and close to 1st if the runner just stops at or near 1st.
