P should be the most aggressive fielder; she just gets called off when another Player has a better angle.
Amy I watched one of our state's open teams (so the level just below national team) where a pop fly went into the pitching circle. Third base took it. Standing on the plate. I was gobsmacked!
I teach them to call their names, mine is too easy to sync up.
FPMark has the answer. Every player must know the priority of the position they are playing. Many times, especially at younger levels, the players give in to the "better" athletes. Those are usually infielders, especially ss. Outfielders must KNOW they have priority!
There are charts that map priorities very clearly. Again, EACH player must know their position's priority AND who has priority over them.
Pitcher (1) has priority over no one.
Catcher (2) has priority over the Pitcher.
1st Base (3) has priority over the Pitcher and Catcher.
2nd Base (4) has priority over 1st, Pitcher, Catcher.
3rd Base (5) has priority over Pitcher, Catcher.
SS (6) has priority over all infielders, Pitcher, Catcher.
LF (7) has priority over all infielders.
CF (8) has priority over everyone.
RF (9) has priority over all infielders.
