Coaching notes
Key point
On a gapper the closest outfielder fields it and the middle infielder becomes the relay — nobody throws it 250 feet on the fly.
Drill
Hit balls into the left-center gap; time the shortstop getting to the relay spot lined up with second.
Watch for
Both outfielders pulling up — someone must call 'I've got it' so one fields and the other backs up.
