Watch a major league game and you will see MOST of the catches made with two hands. The only time you one hand it is when you are on the run.

You said you two hand a ground ball because the ball moves - well what do you think that ball is doing while it is coming down??? It is moving. You may have set up for the catch to happen in the pocket but what if at the last instant the ball moves to where it will hit in the palm - yes that will happen.

I remember many catches where the ball was coming out because it moved, spin on the ball caused it to kick out etc... and the other hand kept it in there.
