Key point
The wheel gets the LEAD runner — but only if the shortstop reaches third in time. It's a gamble: miss it and everyone's safe.
Drill
Wheel-play timing: the shortstop breaks to third as the pitcher delivers; corners crash; freeze and check coverage.
Watch for
Throwing to third when the shortstop isn't there yet — if the bag isn't covered, take the sure out at first.
