Hard Line Drives
Deep Fly Balls
GroundBalls to the Left side
Groundballs to the Right Side
All of the Above

Correct Answer(s)

A. Hard Line Drives
A. Deep Fly Balls
A. Groundballs to the Right Side

Explanation

When hitting with runners in scoring position on 2nd base, the best approach is to hit hard line drives, deep fly balls, or groundballs to the right side. Hard line drives and deep fly balls have a higher chance of getting the ball past the infield and into the outfield, allowing the runners to advance or even score. Groundballs to the right side are beneficial because they can potentially advance the runner from second base to third base or even score a run if the defense is unable to make a play. Therefore, all of these options are recommended when hitting with runners in scoring position on 2nd base.
