All nine jobs
Tap a player to follow that one job on the field.
Why it matters
On this side the second baseman is the relay. The relay has to line up with 3rd before the outfielder picks the ball up. Both arms go up as a target. The third baseman is the eyes of the play and yells where the ball should go.
What the runners do
- Batter. Double: cruises into 2nd.
