Instructions

- 2Defender reads the set location and shifts to the statistically likely landing zone before contact.
- 3Call out the read out loud ('line' or 'angle') before the hitter swings.
- 4Adjust positioning again immediately if the approach shows a different shot.
What to focus on
Positioning adjustment happens before the hitter contacts the ball.
Common mistake
Staying in a generic base position and reacting only after the ball is hit.
