BU mechanics at 1st
Something that happened the other day which left me wondering.
I was in A and the batter hit into right field, near the foul line. I moved to position just inside 1st in foul ground, setting up for the play from right field.
BUT..., the throw went over F3 and landed in the infield, between me and the PP. F1 was backing up the play, but not close enough to catch it, and was trying to retrieve the ball. With F3 near the base, F2 coming up the line and F1 in the middle; there was no opening for me to get into the infield.
If the runner tried for 2nd, how would you cover?
