Second basemen – Back up first base!
Critical to protecting the ball coach! At the beginning of every season I ask my players "how many seats do you see on this field?" My point, every time a ball is put in play, every player should be moving...whether it's a play on the ball or as you stated above to a defensive position as a "just in case". BTW, on that play, my right fielder had better be on his pony racing to back up first also!
