Some Rules and Tips.. 1. The "Run Down" play begins with a pickoff attempt by the pitcher or by a well placed throw by a fielder either ahead of or behind the baserunner 2. There are 4 fielders involved in the run down...the Pitcher is one of them 3. Work inside (because the runner is outside)...to avoid an "obstruction" infraction and to ensure a clear throwing lane to your team mate  4. "Show the ball" with your throwing hand....and remember your throws are "dart throws"

Hopefully we'll be able to get out together before too long.  In the meantime please review this short document so you can understand your defensive responsibilities on balls hit to the outfield.
