When an inning ends and the BU is anywhere "inside" he will run into his between inning location in short right field (two crew system).

When the catcher throws the ball down to start a new inning the BU will run to "A".

When in "A" and a batter is either walked or hit by pitch the BU will run into the infield and attempt to be at "B" before the BR reaches first base.

It takes no ability to hustle.

If an umpire cannot attain the three requirements listed above he will be penalized on his evaluation.

I knew you'd understand.
