Pickoff at 2nd

Description:

Pickoff play based off the "wheel Play" bunt coverage.  With runners at 1st and 2nd and a typical bunt situation.  The SS works the runner back to 2nd and then breaks hard to 3rd.  The goal is to give the runner the perception that it is safe to get a larger lead knowing the SS is going to cover 3rd.  Once the SS breaks for 3rd the 2B will cover 2nd to take the throw from the pitcher.
