Remember, every step you take going out is taking you farther from the infield, and you could go out so deep that now you need a relay man!! Also, know your outfielders, know which ones have good arms and which do not, and which have accurate throwing arms and which do not. It is also important that you know the score, inning and outs. Depending on these factors, you may or may not try to get an advancing runner.
