Part 5 of 6 - Responsibilities and Backup positions - USA Softball Olympic Team Assistant Couch John Rittman, and Leah O'Brien Demonstrate and teach the Outfield Fundamentals that makes team USA one of the best Fast pitch Softball Teams in the World. New instructional DVDs can be purchased at www.softballoutlet.com. Proceeds benefit ASA/USA Softball, a non-profit organization, and members of the USA Olympic Team appearing in each DVD.
Regarding Outfield positioning, it seems to makes sense that the right and left fielders would shade toward the lines a little. The reason is that a ball in the gaps will be covered by both players in half the time but a ball down the line is only covered by one player to cover the same distance.
