Strategy: Fast Turf, Tight Angles
- Players must stay low and maintain active feet—turf will increase infield velocity.
- Corners play in and tight to the lines to cut off fast-moving grounders.
- OF emphasize charging through the ball—don’t sit back. Every hop is predictable, but fast.
- Short backstop means balls don’t travel—force out opportunities increase.
Offensive Game Plan
- Utilize bunts, drag hits, and early steals to apply pressure.
- Encourage hitters to pull ground balls into the short foul lines where quick turf boosts chances.
- Aggressive baserunning—read bounces quickly. Anticipate and react before the defense settles.
