Situation library

Relays, force outs, bunts, rundowns, tag-ups, and first-and-third defense get a bright field map instead of another shouted reminder.

Outfield hit coverage plays for youth baseball, with clear cutoff, backup, and base-coverage jobs.

Bunt coverage plays that show who fields, who covers each base, and how the defense handles the lead runner.

Force play situation guides for ground balls where the defense can record an out by beating a runner to a base.

Cutoff and relay situation pages for lining up throws from the outfield and keeping lead runners controlled.

Infield ground ball plays that show the force, lead runner, batter-runner, and backup responsibilities.

Tag play situation pages for youth baseball, including tag-ups, delayed steals, and lead-runner decisions.

First-and-third defense plays for steals, delayed steals, cuts, rundowns, and protecting the runner at third.

Rundown plays that teach short throws, closing space, and tagging the runner before a safe base.

What changes

Every situation starts with the field setup, then moves one step at a time so the next throw, backup, and coverage are clear.

Position notes keep the lesson short: where to go, what to cover, and what to watch after the ball is hit.

The language stays plain enough for a car-ride explanation after practice or a quick tablet check before a game.
