Is this correct?
There is no such terminology in ASA. USSSA has such terminology, and maybe other orgs as well. But not ASA.

If my amnesia serves me correctly, in USSSA, there's a difference between primary throw and a secondary throw. I THINK the primary throw is the first play made on a runner by an infielder, and a secondary throw is everything else.

However, it's been 13 years since I called USSSA, so someone will probably correct me on this.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
