Strategy: Protect Right Field
- Right field is a launch zone — avoid pitching inside to left-handed power hitters.
- Right fielder must play deep and be quick to cut off balls down the line.
- Shift defense toward right against strong pull hitters.
- Emphasize throwing strikes early and inducing ground balls.
Offensive Game Plan
- Right-handed hitters should work on inside pitches and pulling the ball.
- Use squeeze plays and bunt-for-hit situations to take advantage of defensive pressure.
- Power hitters should target right field with elevation.
- Force errors with high contact and speed pressure.
