Middle infielders or all infielders get the pitch and location and relay it to the outfield...we use 1 finger behind the middle infielders back for inside pitch and 2 fingers for outside pitch...catcher gives sign to pitcher, second base gives it to centerfielder she tells other outfielders...they dont adjust until after pitcher starts wind-up...
