You add a pivot if he has to do that with the left foot on the second step. I believe this came down from the Dodgers organization.

I guess we've been listening to the same folks I like the start with the Left pivot Right and two slide steps, player is closer to the bag when he has his blind side to a pitcher. I am not sure where this teaching originated , maybe the Dodger's. The Left Right Left, like CoachB25 teaches, comes into play when the boys get older, I don't like to let the younger ones, typically 12U, get to crazy until I see they really can read a pitcher.
