4 Man Mechanics - Pressure @2nd base

briancurtin · #1 (**permalink**) Mon Jul 27, 2009, 06:39pm

I had this situation twice last night in a 4-man. I was in the base path like what you described...super deep B. If F4 goes up the middle, I'm behind him and can take a quick step to my left to clear him, then get into the working area once he goes for the ball.

Super Deep C is sometimes referred to as position F. They use F in TASO mechanics, for example.

E is U2's position in the outfield with no runners, and F is an optional position which is straight back from C, and toward the outfield side of the dirt about the same distance from 2nd base.

I have never heard of a position F.

Will you have time to get into the working area if you were just in the basepath?

After an overthrow/base hit, or right after the second baseman throws?

You do realize we are talking 4 man mechanics, right?

Yes. I still don't know how you can go from behind the baseline to behind the mound after he "goes for the ball". Is the working area different in 4 man?

Let's think about this for a second. What are U2's responsibilites with bases loaded and a batted ball to F4?

Why does U2 need to go behind the mound in this situation? His play is at 2nd base.
