Double Play from Center Field

In this section we are going to talk about turning a double play from the center field position. Now, just like in right field, it has to be less than two outs and a runner that's on second base, does not go back when the ball is hit in the air and is caught. The ball's hit in the air with less than two outs, there's a runner on second base, center fielder catches the ball, sees the second, the person on second base out of position, force is out at second base. OK, the ball is hit with less than two outs, running it live. The catch is caught, sees that the person at second base is out of, out of the position, she doesn't go back on time, and the force is made at second base. OK, to, the situation has to present itself just like this, number one: less than two outs; number two: there has to be a runner on base when the ball is hit up in the air and the runner does not get back to the base on time when the ball is caught. And like, like specifically in right field, it can be done from any base possible plus specifically at second base, second baseman does not get, person on second base does not get back, the outfielder can force the person out and make the throw on time for the second out. And that's how we turn a double play, specifically from center field.
