A, B, C. Slots
 
I see this used all the time and I have some questions but first I need to get this terminolgy down.

A slot = foul territory 15-18 feet behind 1B. Correct ?
B slot = behind and to the left of 2B correct ?
C slot = behind the shortstop Correct ?

I'll post my questions after i nail these down .

Thanks for the feedback......

Yes, but in B, you should be where you are comfortable and, more often than not, particularly in the FP game, the left side will be preferred.

I often find that my comfortable C position is nowhere near being actually behind the shortstop, but perhaps more in line where a major league baseball shortstop might play. It seems I'm often a good 5-7 steps left (my left) of shortstop, and shortstops are often closer to third base than 2nd.

These are all the BU positions I remember seeing
A = outside 1st base line
B = between 1st and 2nd (B1 or B2, left or right of F4)
C = between 2nd and 3rd (C1 or C2, left or right of F6)
D = outside 3rd base line
C3 = occasionally for inside 3rd base line, right of F6 and F7
