- Looking at Right Field
Hitters are taught to drive the ball "Gap to Gap", "Back up the Middle", and "To the Opposite Field". The advent of aluminum bats has forced pitchers to command the outer half of the plate and to utilize off-speed versus the fastball in many instances.

This position is known as "Straight Up" to a Right Handed Hitter. If the Left Fielder wants to play the Right Handed hitter with an "Opposite" shift, then he ...

“Know when to throw out runners at home plate and when to throw to 2nd base. With a runner on 2nd base and a ball hit that takes you to your right or left a few steps, throw to second. Base hits that are hit right at you take a chance and try for the runner at home.”-
