Depends what position you are playing and how many outs there are, etc. You have a force out at second but not third, so most likely that's your best play. If there are two outs, throw to first or second, depending on which one's the easiest play. If less that two outs and you are playing the infield, try looking back the runner at third and holding him there before thowing to first or second to save a run. If the runner at third is going home and you're confident you can get him tagged out, you may want to throw to the catcher.

It depends on the situation. If there 0-1 outs, you should check the runner at third and then throw to second base to get the force out. With 1 out, hopefully the throw to second will lead to a throw to first and a double play, ending the inning. The runner in scoring position (on third) should always be checked initially to prevent a run. If there are 2 outs, you should throw to the easiest base: third baseman or shortstop should throw to second base and second baseman throw to first.

Depends on a lot of things. But, the runners going to 1st and 2nd are a force so I'd say throw it to the closest base. If there's time, 2nd and hopefully she/he can throw it to 1st for a double play.

Well if you could give us a better scenario like 1st and third with no outs, or 1 out, or 2 that would help a lot, or perhaps even what position your playing.

It depends if ur team is doing good double play second then first. If the game is on the line throw home.

you throw the ball to second base for the double play

well the person on third doesn't have to go so you always through it to first and then the first base person will through it home for the double. Unless your coach tells you different. Definetly through it to first if there are 2 outs.

just to tell if if its one out. The best decision to do is to throw to second base and then first base so ull get a double play

with two outs you throw to first with one out you throw to second and hope your fielders can turn the doubleplay the runner at third doesn't usually run home when the ball is hit to the pitcher or with two outs you can throw to first and let your fielders turn the doubleplay

If you are the catcher and the person at first steals you hold the ball so the person at third does not steal.
