Anyway to make a player jump? Double play related question

[basic]

It seems whenever a hitter grounds out into a double play, my 2nd baseman always gets taken out before he can throw to first. Is there any way you can make your baseman catch, tag, hop and throw to first? Instead of being takeing out with the runner's slide?

I think it's just kinda random depending on how hard the runner is bearing down on the 2nd baseman.

start the throw before the 2nd baseman gets the ball and have a soft throw(basically tapping on "throw to 1st")

Is that possible? To start the throw before the 2nd baseman gets the ball?

I told you to hold on to the bottom before he gets the ball

Don't make the 2nd baseman throw air.

it pisses me off when my second basemen gets wiped out, it always happens

if you lower the CPU run aggression this will help lower the number of take outs on double plays.

just be careful not to lower it too much because then they will only try to take an extra base if there is no way to throw them out....i.e., it reduces the chances of you relaying a ball in from the outfield to throw someone out

(I am not in front of my home PC right now so I couldn't tell you what exactly I have my CPU Run Aggression set to but if memory serves me correct...I have it set to around 22-25 on Pro setting)
