"SLIDING ON CLOSE PLAYS
All slides begin about 4 long steps from the bag. The hands are always in a loose fist to avoid injury.
STAND-UP SLIDES - The slide's direction is away from the tag. A runner has an option of missing the bag completely, yet touching the bag with the hand as they pass the bag. Legs - the right leg bends slightly. The left foot is positioned under the right knee. .. Body - the runner slides on their back hip pockets... Hands- use one hand to touch the bag when purposely missing the bag.
HOOK SLIDES - This slide is excellent for breaking up double plays. Legs - both legs are bent on the same side of the body. The back foot finishes the slide by making contact with the bag... Body - lean back in a reclining position... Hands - in the air as high as comfortably possible..."
