Not necessarily. If the second baseman has another play to make (throw to first for a double play) the umpire can rule the batter going to first out for interference by the push. the umpire could eject the player if he feels the push was excessive or a flagrant attempt to injure.

Second base is considered scoring position because any solid single should score that run.

When should the first baseman trail the runner on a first and third early steal?

The first baseman should trail the runner on a first and third early steal primarily when there is a strong chance the runner on third will attempt to steal home. By trailing, the first baseman can cover the shortstop or second base, creating a potential play to catch the runner attempting to advance. This strategy also helps to prevent a quick throw to second base, as it keeps the defense alert to potential plays at both bases. However, the first baseman should also be aware of the pitcher’s pickoff moves and adjust accordingly.


Hit to right side go to third from second base?

I think this question is referring to hitting behind a baserunner to advance them? With a runner on second base if a hitter can hit the ball on the ground to the right side of the infield the runner on second base should be able to advance to third because the obvious play is to first for the out. Like a sacrifice, but not entirely, because there is a chance for a basehit.


Who covers first base on a double play when the ball is hit to first baseman?

That depends on where the 1st baseman fields the ball. If the 1st baseman can field the ball, throw to second, and have enough time to get safely back to the base to catch the return throw, then (s)he will cover. If not, then it is the responsibility of the pitcher.


What happens when a fly ball hit to the first baseman is dropped with a runner on first base?

Nothing in your situation. Only maybe if there is less than two outs and at least another runner on second. If there is less than two outs, the infield fly rule applies. The runner should stay on first base. The batsman would be out anyway. That is the purpose of the infield fly rule. It was put in when Ty Cobb had a similar situation. He was playing short stop. There were runners on first and second. A batter hit a pop up toward him. He yelled, "I got it." The runners stayed on first and second. He dropped the ball. Tagged the runner on second. Stepped on the base, and threw the ball to first for a triple play. Then baseball put in the infield fly rule. If there is a popup in the infield with zero or 1 outs, and runners on base that would be forced out, the batter is out and the runner should not advance.


If a batter hits a ball that falls safely in front of the center fielder but the runner at second hesitates and gets thrown out at third should it be considered a fielder's choice and not a hit?

Provided that there were no runner on 1st base and batter reached 1st before runner were tagged out, this is a hit. Batter alreay had first base, runner chose to go to 3rd, not forced. If he were forced, then it is a fielders choice.
