52 Rundown Plays General Rules
1. Always force the runner back to the base they cam from. 2. Always throw the ball ahead of the runner to force them back. 3.Throw the ball chest high, with moderate speed. Don’t throw too hard. 4.All infielders begin the lay by protecting their bases. Those involved in the rundown will gradually move in and narrow the distance between themselves and the runner. As this happens, other infielders move in to cover their bases, backing up the fielders involved in the rundown.

53 Rundown Plays continued
5. Outfielders will move in toward the infield in back up positions. 6. The infielder ahead of the runner will run toward the base runner to force him back before throwing. 7.As the ball is thrown, the fielder behind the runner will begin to move forward, thus trapping the runner between two converging players.
