Underhand feed from second base

The latest video explains the underhand double play feed from second base. Similar in technique, the toughest part of this play is the footwork is backwards from what a infielder is used to. Because the momentum of the second baseman is going from left to right the footwork here differs. Instead of our typical RIGHT - LEFT - FIELD; now, to get our momentum going towards the shortstop, the footwork is LEFT - RIGHT - FIELD - FEED, all in one motion. The timing here again is key in making this a fluid play where the feed is made with the legs.
