Um what, how often will the 2nd baseman get to a ball 2 steps to the 1B's right? You get everything you can and let the pitcher cover the base.With a dead pull hitter and the defense they had lined up, you let the 2nd basemen handle the ball and worry about getting back to first. I was always taught that anything 1-2 steps to the right is fine, but if I have to stride to let it go. A good 2nd baseman will be able to get there, unless the defense is turned over towards short. I would also add, when you are a glovesmith like Prince, just let those go.
