BU: Two Man Mechanic, Infield In

[cc6]

Same place as always. Once the fielder goes for the ball, you can adjust accordingly to get out of his way.

Not so. When the fielders play in, the BU must position himself behind the infielders, usually on the edge of the grass or just onto the dirt, much like U2 in 4-man. If you play in the normal B and C, you can end up being part of the play and getting in the way of a fielder, who is trying to get you an out.

That's right SDS...and coaches/players love it when the fans "come to watch us!" We do need to get out of the way.

Incorrect. Think back to the previous thread on U2 in a 4-man.

Think about this: slow roller hit directly at you -- where are you going? The fielder is probably coming straight at the ball and firing home. You'd have to turn your shoulder to see which angle the fielder is taking to get to the ball, then go the other way. That will not work.

You can also adjust to the deep B if a fielder or runner asks you to move and you feel with the runner's secondary and F6 that there is no good spot for you to be in.

A sh!thouse waiting to happen.

After the fielders take the positions they want/need, I take my position, out of their way, but normally I do not have to go any deeper than the edge of the grass.
