    Big Diamond Defense: Stop Giving Away Free Bases

    Making the jump to the 60/90 field changes everything about how the game is played. In this episode, we discuss key defensive strategies, positioning, communication, the catcher’s role and the pitcher’s responsibilities. We hope you enjoy! TANDEM RELAY INFO: Situation Bases empty. The ball is hit to the left-center field fence. When the outfielder shows numbers, we know this hit is at least a double. Our goal now is simple: Do NOT let the double turn into a triple. Defensive Responsibilities Left Fielder (LF) Fields the ball cleanly off the wall Makes a strong, accurate throw toward the cutoff Shortstop (SS) – Primary Cutoff Goes out to the outfield grass as the main cutoff Gets square to the ball and the target Controls the throw and decides where it goes next Second Baseman (2B) – Tandem / Backup Trails the shortstop by 10–15 feet Backs up the shortstop in case of an errant throw Ready to receive the ball if needed First Baseman (1B) Watches the runner touch first base Trails the runner toward second base Gets in position to receive any throw to second Right Fielder (RF) Moves in to back up throws to second base Pitcher (P) Hustles to back up third base Prevents extra bases on overthrows Coaching Emphasis Everyone has a job—no spectators Hustle and communication matter Good positioning turns doubles into routine doubles This play is about team defense, not arm strength Goal Keep the double from becoming a triple.

    Big Diamond Hitting: Tips Every Player and Parent Needs

    Making the jump to the big diamond is one of the toughest transitions for young hitters. Longer base paths, faster pitching and bigger fields can expose bad habits fast.

We break down hitting styles, how to use video feedback effectively, ways to improve eye-hand coordination and the movement patterns that translate to success on the bigger field. We also share practical do’s and don’ts for parents and coaches trying to support players through this critical stage. If you have a player preparing for the big diamond, this episode gives you a clear roadmap. We hope you enjoy!
