INFIELD
Normal - The default infield position.
Fielders In – Late in the game, with the tying or go-ahead run
at third, bring the infield in to make the play at the plate. Your
fielders will be in good position to cut down the runner from
third or hold him there, but they’ll give up lateral movement,
making a well-hit grounder more likely to get through for a
base hit.
Fielders Back - Your fielders will play deep to guard against
hard-hit grounders. Use this alignment when you’re willing to
concede the run at third to get the out.
Double Play - The shortstop and second baseman will cheat
toward the middle so they can turn a quick double play.
Guard Lines - Get your first baseman and third baseman
hugging the foul line. Use this alignment when you’re up late
in the game to protect against an extra base hit down the line.
Guard Bunt - Bring your third and first baseman in to guard
against a bunt. Be careful though, if the batter bluffs the bunt
and gets a hold of one he can smoke it right past them.
By positioning the infield back, the second baseman was able
to go deep in the hole to come up with this low line drive.
