Fielding Tips: Communicating With Teammates On Pop Ups And Ground Balls

Whether you’re a baseball infielder or an outfielder, it’s really important to talk to your other fielders before the pitcher makes his pitch, as well as after the ball is put in play.

The reason you talk before the pitch is because sometimes you want to decide before a play who will cover what, like the second baseman telling the shortstop that he will cover the bag.

But you always want to yell loudly for the ball if it is popped up to you, even if you think no one else is going for it; if you don’t, you might bump a teammate and no one will catch the ball.
