Subject field(s)

DEF

A ... pass ... that is used when you have a wide open player far down the court.

CONT

The baseball pass is most often used to advance the ball up the floor. The ball is held with both hands on the ball, one on either side with the throwing hand usually a little higher on the ball. The ball is cocked up near the ear to aid in a quick release. The passers hand must be BEHIND the ball so the pass doesn't have too much side spin, making it hard to catch. The pass is made over the defense, leading the receiver.

CONT

The baseball pass is a good pass to make to a teammate streaking down the floor.
