Quiz #3
1) In the first inning a ball is hit over your head in right field and you have gone back and picked it up. There are two outs and a runner on second. Who should you be looking for?
A. Look for your coach, she/he will tell you where to throw it
B. Look for the cut-off / relay who will be the second baseman - with two outs the runner on second will easily score on a ball hit over your head. You should be looking for the cut-off in an attempt to keep the batter off second.
C. Look to see where the runner is and then quickly decide where to throw the ball.
D. Throw the ball home, because the runner from second will probably be trying to score.
ANSWER
2) What is the best way to catch a routine fly ball in the outfield?
A. Catch the ball in front of your face, using two hands. That way you can move your glove to either side if the ball drifts one way or the other
B. Moving forward, with your glove on your throwing hand side, off to the side of your head, using two hands - Catching the ball in front of your face does not allow you to watch the ball into your glove. In addition, you can more quickly get off your throw by catching on your throwing hand side.
C. Since many major league players use one hand, that is probably the best way to do it.
D. Whatever style is most comfortable to you is the best way.
