Reply to "Cover 2nd on stolen base"

Good insightful comments by both Freddy and Bob.  We look at the P/Hitter matchup and determine likelihood of which side the ball will be hit and have the other MIF cover.  Typically, most balls at HS level will be pulled unless a power pitcher or, as Bob says, hitter has inside-out swing, or hitter is otherwise overmatched.  Pretty traditional. 

I'm somewhat surprised that your 2b is more athletic than your SS.  That is not usually the case.
