SITUATION

  • Pop fly hit behind third base. Applies to all combinations of runners.

OBJECTIVES

  • To have EVERY ball hit in the air fielded by the player with the easiest opportunity to make the play.


ASSIGNMENTS

  • I got it! I got it! I got it! should be the only communication on a pop-up.

  • EVERY base must be covered on all pop-ups.

  • An outfielder has priority over an infielder.

  • The first and third baseman have priority over the catcher.

  • The second baseman has priority over the first baseman.

  • The shortstop has priority over the second and third basemen.

  • The pitcher should NEVER field a pop-up hit high enough for an infielder to make a play on.

  • NO player should call for a pop-up until it is on it's way down.

  • Make yourself loud and clear when calling for the ball. There is NO excuse for miscommunication on a pop-up.
