Well my DD's teams is a first year 12U and while there have been a couple which were close 6-4-3 DP the only ones they have actually turned are when my DD ranges up the middle from SS, steps on second and throws to 1st. Baseball, even at the ages he is talking about, might be a little different though.Not trying to be a smarta$$. But how many dp's have your teams turned 6-4-3? If it's a lot then I have no case
Though I have never played it at a high level.....agreed.Footwork from SS a lot easier...

Agreed, if you have a team that cannot field GB then spending a lot of time practicing DP turns is probably a waste. However spending the last 10 to 15 minutes working on it can be a fun change of pace for the kids. My DD's team doesn't work on it but I have done some individual work with my DD on it.Well as long as you see this as a realistic play then by all means practice it. I see way too many teams who struggle to get a simple ground out practicing dp's
None, yet. But with the perfect hit ball I can see one (1) happening this year, 11 games to go. But like pattar said, more than likely it'll be the SS taking it himself.Not trying to be a smarta$$. But how many dp's have your teams turned 6-4-3? If it's a lot then I have no case
