The Hitting Zone

Kenny gave me a light pat on the shoulder. "Okay, don't stress. I understand."

"You understand that I don't know what you mean?" I clarified.

Kenny cracked a smile. "It's okay. It's not anything huge. You just have to backup the play, alright? Similar to the infield, you've got to move every time the ball is put into play." We stopped briefly in the outfield. "As a right fielder you should back up the first baseman whenever he's receiving throws from the catcher or pitcher. It's not common but be aware in case they try any bunts. You also backup the second baseman when he's receiving throws from the shortstop or third baseman."

"When you say backup the play...like how?" I squinted up at him.

Kenny blinked. "Just jog in casually for now. If the ball gets by either of those position players, then it's an error on the infield so don't panic. Just get the ball back into the infield."

I nodded. Right. Okay. I can do that.
