Outfielders are instructed on throwing trajectories, height, and carry to enable an infielder to cut off throws. Cutoff/relay men receive targets with hands up, maintain positioning within ability limits, track the ball on the glove side, and execute quick, accurate throws with proper body alignment and shuffle steps. Call men coordinate base numbers and when to request “Cut” to manage whether the ball is relayed or allowed to continue.",{"@graph":63,"@context":122},[64,80,101],{"@type":65,"itemListElement":66},"BreadcrumbList",[67,71,74,77],{"item":68,"name":69,"@type":70,"position":9},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":72,"name":10,"@type":70,"position":73},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/",2,{"item":75,"name":51,"@type":70,"position":76},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/general/",3,{"item":78,"name":59,"@type":70,"position":79},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/cheat-sheet-cutoffs-and-relays-v-16/571974/",4,{"url":78,"name":59,"@type":81,"image":82,"author":87,"headline":59,"publisher":90,"fileFormat":93,"inLanguage":57,"description":61,"dateModified":94,"datePublished":95,"encodingFormat":93,"isAccessibleForFree":96,"interactionStatistic":97},"DigitalDocument",{"url":83,"@type":84,"width":85,"height":86},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/cheat-sheet-cutoffs-and-relays-v-16/571974.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":88,"@type":89},"gewufjwa","Person",{"url":68,"name":91,"@type":92},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-22","2026-10-13",true,{"@type":98,"interactionType":99,"userInteractionCount":47},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":100},"ViewAction",{"@type":102,"mainEntity":103},"FAQPage",[104,110,114,118],{"name":105,"@type":106,"acceptedAnswer":107},"What responsibilities do all fielders have during every play?","Question",{"text":108,"@type":109},"Each player must have a job to do on every play.

The throw should also have enough carry to reach the base (if not cut) on a line or only take one long hop.  \n• The throw to the cutoff man should be chest to head high.  \nCutoff/Relay Man  \n• The relay man should have his hands in the air to give a target to the outfielder.  \n• The cutoff and relay men should be in a position to make a perfect throw to the intended base if needed. They should never position themselves farther from the target than their abilities allow .  \n• As the ball is released in his direction, the relay man should move to keep the ball on his glove side and the ball about head high.  \n• As he is about to catch the ball he needs to turn his lower body to line up with his target (see photo) .  \n• His hands should not drop below his chest because he must throw the ball quickly.  \n• As he makes his throw, he makes a right foot left foot shuffle step (for righthanded thrower) towards his target.  \nThe Call Men  \nThe First Call Man (Outfielder)  \n• Is always the outfielder closest to the outfielder making the play.  \n• Calls the base the fielder should throw to (e.g. , \"Two, \"Four\") . He shouldn't call \"Cut\", because whether the ball needs to be cut, or not, is the responsibility of the infielder call man .  \nThe Second Call Man (Infielder)  \n• The player covering the base where the throw is initially intended, calls the base number (e.g., \"Two\", \"Four\") and then lines up the cutoff man in a straight line to the base  \n• If the call man knows that the outfielder's throw is not going to reach the base and he needs the cutoff man to relay the ball in, he needs to yell \"Cut\" and the base number.  \n• If the second call man just calls the base number that he is on without saying \"Cut\", he wants the ball to travel through to the base without being cut-off.  \n• If there is no play at the initial base but there is a play at another base or home, the second call man yells \"Cut\" and the base number (e.g., \"Cut 2\", \"Cut 4\") .  \n• If there is no play at any base, the second call man just yells “Cut.” The relay man then typically runs the ball back to the infield.  \n|  | Single to Left Field | Single to Centre Field | Single to Right Field |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| No One on Base | | | |\n| Runner on First | | | |\n\n\n|  | Single to Left Field | Single to Centre Field | Single to Right Field |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Runner on Second | | | |\n| Runners on First and Second | | | |\n\n\n| No One on Base | Extra Base Hit to Left-Centre Field | Extra Base Hit to Right-Centre Field |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n|  | | |\n| Runner on First | | |\n\n\n| Runner on Third | Fly Ball to Left Field | Fly Ball to Right Field |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n|  | | |","cbCaiuOmpd4OGdjx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuOmpd4OGdjx","pdf",584436,"English","# Things to remember\n## All Fielders\n## Outfielders\n## Cutoff/Relay Man\n## The Call Men\n### The First Call Man (Outfielder)\n### The Second Call Man (Infielder)","[{\"question\":\"What responsibilities do all fielders have during every play?\",\"answer\":\"Each player must have a job to do on every play.
