Can anyone see a potential problem with having the 1B cut off all throws to home? I've tried it, and the 1B has no problem getting over to the third base side of the circle. The Pitcher is free to back up between 3rd base and home wherever she is needed. Right fielder will sneak in behind any runners that may stay at first base.
The reason I started doing this is my 3B was having trouble figuring out whether she should be covering 3rd or cutting off for home on gappers. On her defense there is not a whole lot of time to decide if a runner is going to be sliding into 3rd or rounding 3rd to go home.
Any thoughts?
