3-Man Basics???

So much wrong.

Flyballs: Depends on the mechanics. You will either always go out on fly balls to your area when you're on the line, or only go out on trouble balls from the line, or go out on trouble balls even when you're in the middle (on all -- when the ball is in your area).

You'll need to decide whether U1 or U3 is the "quarterback"

No one on: A, D
R1 only: A, deep B/C
R2 only: Deep B, D
R3 only: A, D
R1, R2: A, C
R1, R3: A, C
R2, R3: Deep B, D
R1, R2, R3: A, C

Note that your mechanics might also have U1 go beck to A whenver there are two outs (even, for example, with R2 only).

If you're U1, then whenever PU rotates to third, you rotate home. U3 rotates to first (and second) in this instance.

If there are runners on and PU doesn't rotate, U1 takes BR into second (and U3 has prior runners at second and all runners at third).

If you haven't done much, I strongly suggest you take the plate. The work / rotations / responsibilities are almost the same as in two man and you can see what the others are doing.
