Editing Double play (section)

== Strategy ==
The double play is a coup for the fielding team and debilitating to the batting team. The fielding team can select pitches to induce a double play — such as a [[Sinker (baseball)|sinker]], which is more likely to be hit as a ground ball — and can position fielders to make a ground ball more likely to be turned into a double play. The batting team may take action — such as a [[hit and run (baseball)|hit and run]] play — to reduce the chance of grounding into a force double play.
