Keep choppin' wood and earning the trust of the coach. She will be in the "circle of trust" in no time.DD got put in at second after an inning or two and she did go to cover behind 2B on steals. I'm not sure what other teams do but I guess that's what he teaches them.
When I played baseball, that is what we were taught. Someone mentioned that CF should be the back up which I agree. With the smaller field, CF is on top of the play unless she is playing against the fence. If I were the opposing coach, I would watch for this and take advantage of it with my competent slappers and push bunts towards 2nd base side. That leaves the whole middle infield wide open.
