OUTFIELD
Normal -
The default outfield position.
Shallow -
With the winning run at third and less than two
outs, bring the outfielders in. That way, they have a better shot
at making the play at home on shallow fly balls or soft liners.
Deep -
When you have a power hitter up at the plate, play
your defenders back. It will give them a better shot at keeping
the ball in front of them and making the dramatic catch at
the wall.
Shift Left -
Let your outfielders play left of their normal
positions. This works well against righty pull hitters and
lefties that like to go the other way.
Shift Right -
Let the outfielders play to the right of their
normal positions. This works well against lefty pull hitters
and righties that like to go the other way.
