• Defensive players can’t run to a base or tag a runner to get an offensive player out unless they are the defensive player assigned to that position
  • Example 1: The 2nd baseman can’t run to 1st base to get the runner out. They have to throw the ball to the 1st baseman
  • Example 2: The shortstop can run to tag 2nd base because they are playing the middle infield, but can’t run to 3rd base. They must throw it to the 3rd baseman
  • Outfielders must stay in the outfield 
  • Infielders must start in the dirt color...no playing in for any hitter until the ball is hit
  • Pitchers must use their teammates to record an out. A pitcher can't tag a runner going from 3rd to home.
