Once my shoulders line up my feet follow and I am in position to make a strong throw to first base. Yankee Doug Bernier turns a double play and jumps to avoid the baserunner. Once I release the ball I need to get in the air. Once I get in the air I eliminate the chance of the runner sliding into my front leg while still planted and breaking it or having a potential serious injury.
Even if it is one inch off the ground he takes my legs out and I try to fall on top of him. Usually you can jump over the runner but every now and then you have to land on top of them. There is no room to be afraid of contact when a runner is coming in hard, if he clips you come down on him. He is trying to get you, you try to get him.
You need to send a message that you are not going to be a sitting duck waiting to get blown up. The runners need to know that there are consequences for coming in hard. Pro tip: Another way to get a runner to think about you a little more and maybe slide earlier than he would like to is to show that you will throw from down low or side arm. Not too many runners will slide in and take one off the face just break up a double play. If he is holding the runner on first and a ball is hit to him I will position myself on the inside part of the second base bag.
My left foot will be on quadrant 4 and I will wait for the ball. If he is playing behind the runner and a ball is hit his way I will get to the outside part of the bag, I will have my right foot on quadrant 3 and wait for the ball. I do this so the ball will not cross the runners path and hit him or have the runner block my sight of the ball.

It is either a strikeout-passed ball, or a strikeout-wild pitch.
If it bounced in the dirt, it would likely be scored a wild pitch. Make sure you do credit the pitcher with the strikeout as well, and even though the batter reached base safely, he gets charged with striking out as well.
What if the catcher should have caught the third strike on the swing but the ball hit his glove and the father dropped it. Does the pitcher get a K and catcher charged with error. Pitcher gets a K, catcher charged with a passed ball. No error. Rule Sharp grounder hit to 3rd. Instead of taking extra step to left, he tries to field it to his side. Ball hits meat of glove and bounces out. Runners advance. Had this scored a hit by mom. Never left his feet and it hit his glove.
