ONLY way that works is if the SS was able to pursue the runner back and tag him. That would make the unassisted DP with the runner being 'doubled' off first.
Or even the 'unlikely' event that he BEAT the runner back to first.....THAT would be hot dogging it....
“ONLY way that works is if the SS was able to pursue the runner back and tag him. That would make the unassisted DP with the runner being ‘doubled’ off first.”
The runner was stealing. It was a soft line drive right near the base. The runner basically gave himself up, since he and the SS arrived at 2nd base at about the same time. (Lefty batter; SS shaded toward the middle.)
I used my MLB-TV subscription to watch the replay of the game & fast-forward to that play. There’s a good screen shot just after the catch in post #23.
