Prepare to be even more disappointed. This is D1 baseball. Yes that is a D1 field

That's D1 high school baseball and probably in a very small state. No way that is college.  Kids are way too small. That backhand play is actually taught now as a way to go right into the throw off the back leg.  If he takes another step to get in front of it he will need an extra step to balance himself, then pivot, step and throw, by that time the guys 10 more feet down the line.  It's the right play, just not talented enough nor strong enough to pull it off.  I saw a play yesterday made by a third baseman who thought he was a shortstop,  barely had to charge a ball but decided to jump throw to first, batter beat it out by a half step, if he had just pivoted and fired, he would have had him.  FY player, probably was always a SS, he'll learn.  But I kind of half expected it as the kid had enough eyewash going on to outfit a whole team.  Next batter hit a HR to go up by 1.
