Reply to "Middle Infield side-fielding technique"

We covered this in the thread below. It is optimal to receive the ball on the glove side and its not optimal to move the glove toward the middle of the body. If the ball is hit right at a middle infielder, even a 3b thats playing back, they move slightly right in order to have the ball left of center and then their momentum will take them toward 1b also. If a gb is right at them and they are in the middle of the ball, how do they compensate for a bad hop to their throwing hand side. With momentum, they will adjust easier.
