The third baseman will assist him in getting into the proper cut-off position. He will listen for the third baseman for the possible cut-off to third base or to the second baseman at second base. LEFT FIELDER—Backs up the center fielder. When the center fielder cleanly fields the ball, he will break immediately toward the left field line to back up a possible throw to third base. CENTER FIELDER—Fields the ball so that he can make a possible play at the plate on the runner who started at second base. If he feels that he has a definite play on that runner he will throw to the plate through the first baseman serving as the cut-off man. If he has no play at the plate he might have a play at third base on the runner who started at first base. In this case, he would throw to the third baseman through the shortstop serving as the cut-off man for the third baseman. If the runner from second base will score without a play and the runner from first base will make third base without a play, he will throw the ball immediately to the second baseman at second base. He must be sure that the throw to second base will not allow the runner at third base to score on the throw. After throwing to the plate, he will back up second base for a possible play at that base. RIGHT FIELDER—Backs up the center fielder. When the center fielder cleanly fields the ball, the right fielder will break immediately toward the area behind second base backing up the possible throw to that base from the shortstop or third baseman. https://www.ducksbaseball.net/home daily 1.0 2025-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/653fbdc10cc46b1b96e73d7a/1698676170830-FV0WNUWB67SFZP34Z964/ccbca220-41d9-4557-b886-7c4c72b297ec.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/653fbdc10cc46b1b96e73d7a/1698676178777-HMUY9RGY9WABO1NMLHA3/20190621_185545.jpg Home https://www.ducksbaseball.net/sponsors daily 0.75 2023-10-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/653fbdc10cc46b1b96e73d7a/1698676161301-V2BO7T6AWF5M0PL7BDEG/Rawlings_PatchLogo.png Sponsors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/653fbdc10cc46b1b96e73d7a/1698676161306-LUDT3HRQF8FBV3QDRLPM/Sponser+Logo+Ad.jpg Sponsors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/653fbdc10cc46b1b96e73d7a/1698676161297-4N36F6LW19J6KZOJPNXN/easton-logo-26B4A6AF40-seeklogo.com.png Sponsors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/653fbdc10cc46b1b96e73d7a/1698676161294-CRT2SR8WDUAQ3ACKBWV5/Avery+Logo.png Sponsors https://www.ducksbaseball.net/facilities daily 0.75 2023-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/653fbdc10cc46b1b96e73d7a/1698676165551-55A6OKXZ32VDD0ZVA90C/IMG_1938.jpg Facilities - Bloomfield Tennis 799 Denison Ct, Bloomfield Twp, MI 48302 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/653fbdc10cc46b1b96e73d7a/1698676165548-E955C2NQ2GLE9ZG6QNDV/23518933_569107640098893_5315341924317031555_n.jpg Facilities - Elite Sportsplex 2220 Mall Dr. E.
