I'm trying to figure out where the best place to put my pitcher on relays.
The obvious answer is the pitcher should back up 3B/Home, and the 1B should be the cutoff on plays at the plate.
But for most of our games, there is very little room (less than 30 feet, and often times 10-15 feet max) behind home plate. I don't know that she'd even have enough room to be an effective backup, and she might just end up getting in the way of the play.
Does anybody just have pitchers function as the cut on plays from the outfield? I can see why this often isn't done, but it seems like the most logical option for us.
