Full-count

An outfielder needs to know when the count is full. The other counts do not matter. My college defense had different coverages with full count and the runners moving. The outfielders needed to be aware of this because of different cutoff positions.

This was back in the late sixties. I rarely see anyone using that kind of defense anymore. Besides, most college fields have electronic scoreboards where the fielders can read the count, assuming that it is correct. Back in my playing days, electronic scoreboards were a rarity in amateur ball.
