2-Man System Mechanic

[cookie]

Thanks for the responses men. I'm now thinking that moving to the B position is pretty much still optional unless specifically designated by a member's organisation/league.

By "upper level" I had meant college ball and above wherever the 2-man system is utilized. (I had gone to a couple of MiLb games in my area this past summer, but I didn't pay any attention to this mechanic while I was watching the game; so I'll be watching the next time I'm at one.) I do HS and Babe Ruth baseball in the spring, and during the summer on occasion do Travel 19U & 18U, men's league games and a lot of 16U and below games, and I've always stayed in the C position. In lower level rec games, to me, it's a must to be in C. In those games, F1's attention seems always to be engaged by spunky (sometimes foolish) R3's, with an occasional throw there also by F2. This is probably not so in higher level games; thus the likelihood of the next play being at 1st for the inning ending out.

I do think that the B position, because of the few extra steps closer to 1st, will give the BU a better look at the play at 1st, especially with a pulled foot, swipe tag, or bobbled ball, etc.. I will be trying out the B on occasion to see what's like...
