  • Baseball Cutoff and Backup Responsibilities - Pitchers
    Baseball Cutoff and Backup Responsibilities - Pitchers The ability to fulfill baseball cutoff and backup responsibilities is what separates the good teams from the bad ones, the great teams from the good ones. Very few execute properly. Watch a typical youth baseball game when the ball gets hit into the outfield, and it’s a free-for-all. A scramble. Infielders look around in confusion. Most stand around and do very little. Young baseball players need to understand a very simple concept: No matter what the play, you always have a responsibility! If you aren’t moving — barring very few exceptions — you are likely doing something wrong. Cutoff and backup responsibilities are teamwork in action. Nine players moving at the same time for advancing the team. Here is a guide that covers 15 primary scenarios (five different hit types to each of the outfield positions). While this is oversimplified, it’s important that we don’t get bogged down in the details. There are always exceptions. There are always gray areas. There are always crazy plays you don’t expect. Sometimes a throw never makes it to a base, and instead stops at a cutoff man. We don’t need to create a chart that covers every cutoff and backup scenario imaginable. The goal is not for the kids to memorize these responsibilities. The goal is for them to reach that lightbulb moment when they understand why they need to be in a location at a particular time. Plays happen very quickly. Weird things happen. What we don’t want is for players to be going through their memory banks as the play is unfolding, trying to remember where a chart told them to play.

  • Ripken Baseball Camps and Clinics
    Basic Fundamentals of Outfield Play Outfield play, especially at the youth levels, often gets overlooked. Even though the outfielder is not directly involved in the majority of plays, coaches need to stress the importance of the position. An outfielder has to be able to maintain concentration throughout the game, because there may only be one or two hit balls that come directly to that player during the course of the contest. Those plays could be the most important ones. There also are many little things an outfielder can do -- backing up throws and other outfielders, cutting off balls and keeping runners from taking extra bases, and throwing to the proper cutoffs and bases – that don’t show up in a scorebook, but can really help a team play at a high level. Straightaway Positioning All outfielders – all fielders for that matter – must understand the concept of straightaway positioning. For an outfielder, the best way to determine straightaway positioning is to reference the bases. By drawing an imaginary line from first base through second base and into left field, the left fielder can determine where straightaway left actually is. The right fielder can do the same by drawing an imaginary line from third base through second base and into the outfield. The center fielder can simply use home plate and second base in a similar fashion. Of course, the actual depth that determines where straightaway is varies from age group to age group. Outfielders will shift their positioning throughout the game depending on the situation, the pitcher and the batter. But, especially at the younger ages, an outfielder who plays too close to the line or too close to another fielder can 1 create a huge advantage for opposing hitters.
