That will never get a runner going to first.

PingPong won't work on double plays. You have to establish control of the ball to register the out at second base. PingPong is strictly for high choppers over the mound.

On Extra Arm, if possible, experiment with LF and CF to see which one has the more advantageous angle.

Any runner who is caught by any of the other methods (and there may be 1 or 2 softball stars out there running a 20 second 40) could also be caught by The Option.

The only way any runner will be caught by any of the methods is if they stop in their tracks at the horrific sound of an arm breaking.

You mean at the sound of this?

Although PingPong could theoretically work on the pivot if the LH2B catches the throw with his barehand, holds it long enough to register the out, then drops it straight down and swats it with his mitt. More like a topspin forehand in tennis than a pingpong serve, really, because you'd need that spin to cover the distance to first base. Think it over, Rojo. It might still work.

Also, I like The Option. Bring a little wishbone to baseball, baby.

What about THE PUNT!

after getting the out, the LH2B then drop kicks it to the 1B?

It's as plausible and reduces the chance of arm injury.

have we discussed the headbutt method? That is when he gets the first out then throw the ball up in the air and hits it to first with his head.

That might be cool. You can blow an arm out AND get whiplash all on the same play.

He would have to be right-footed. This has the same problems as the ping-pong method.
