Double play

This is the most common way to turn a double play. (Shortstop to second baseman - it's a force play situation; the runners on first and second are forced to run, because there can only be one base runner at each base.)

 In this case, it's a left-handed batter who hits the ball to the left side of the field. The majority of the hitters bats right-handed, and they hit a lot of ground balls to the left side.
This is another way to turn two. (The runner must return to the base.)
