The Ball Gets Hit. Does Every Player Know Where to Go?
Youth defenses don't usually break down because one player can't
field the baseball.
They break down because the other eight players aren't sure what
their job is once the ball is in play.
The Defensive Situations Guide turns those chaotic moments into
repeatable responsibilities your team can learn before game day.
That's the difference between reacting late and playing
organized baseball.
Runner on first. Ball hit to left field.
Can every player answer these questions before the pitch?
Where does the right fielder go?
Who covers second base?
Who backs up third?
Where does the pitcher go?
What is the catcher's responsibility?
The guide answers all of it visually.

Questions
Everything You Need to Know Before You Order
What ages is the guide designed for?
Add your exact recommended age range here. The guide is
designed to make defensive concepts visual and easier for
youth baseball players to understand.
Does it work for travel baseball and recreational baseball?
Yes. The defensive concepts can be taught in recreational,
select and travel baseball programs.
Is this guide for coaches or players?
Both. Coaches can use it as a teaching reference, while
parents and players can use the diagrams to learn defensive
responsibilities away from practice.
Does every situation show all nine defensive players?
Yes. Each situation is designed to show what the entire
defense should do when the ball is put in play — not just
the player closest to the baseball.
What size is the guide?
The physical Defensive Situations Guide is 8.5" ×
11" and spiral bound for convenient use at practice,
at home or on the field.
How quickly does my order ship?

Get Organized on Defense
Stop Yelling “BACK IT UP!” After the Ball Is Already in Play.

defense moves with purpose when the ball is hit.
