Strategy: Fundamentals First
- With turf and true hops, fielding must be clean—use sound mechanics.
- OF arms must be strong and accurate to cover the big gaps.
- Small backstop limits wild pitch risks—focus more on framing and blocking low strikes.
- Reinforce communication to avoid misplays on deep turf fly balls.
Offensive Game Plan
- Attack line drives and hustle hard—turf rewards effort.
- Use team speed to challenge defenders’ transitions on quick turf.
- Leadoff hitters should prioritize getting on base and pressuring with movement.
