1. Open a Core Lesson

Runner on first, 1 out, base hit to center. Press Run Play to watch all nine defenders.

Pre-pitch

Double-play depth · Outfield normal · Hold runner at 1B

Base hit / ball through — Shallow CF · REPS Standard

Pre-pitch alignment

Double-play depth · Outfield normal · Hold runner at 1B

Runner on first with less than two outs: middle infielders shade toward second for the double play.

Primary goal

Take the sure out — two if it's there

You can afford an outmaking play here. Get one for certain, and only turn two if the feed is clean.

Primary throw

CF → SS (CUT) → 3rd base

Stop the first-to-third — throw ahead of the lead runner.

Secondary read

Once the ball is secured, check every runner back to his base.

Why this strategy

Play for an Out (Auto): A runner on third scores on almost anything. Throw ahead of him through the shortstop.

Defensive systems vary by coach and team. REPS uses its REPS Standard system unless a custom system is selected. Cutoffs, relays, coverage and alignment are coaching conventions, not official playing rules.
