Which is why we called it the "Miami play" when I coached Jr. League. We made a Broadway production out of it, faking the pick-off throw to 1B, who faked booting the fake throw, sending the runner to 2B only to be greeted by the short stop who took the 20 foot toss from the pitcher. It worked 90%. Most of the time the runner had to have the play explained to him after he walked back to the dugout.
