Very nice videos.

One question though. Who is the player that is at 3B on the "out of position" video? Is that Beckham? I thought he was a middle infielder.

My concern is that while a player may be out of his normal position, a 2B or a SS wouldn't screw up a grounder just because he's positioned at 3rd.

Everything I have been seeing out of these two parts have been great.

Shouldn't the base runner in Video #7 be standing OUTSIDE of the base path? As in Foul Territory? That way if he was to be hit by a line drive it would be foul and not an out.

Yep. Runners on third never stand on the line. They're taught to stand a foot or so outside the line for the very reason you mentioned.

Or patting the ball in the glove while a speedy runner is tearing down the base paths.

I'll assume he would make the routine plays, but that was a really tough play even for a 3b. Therefore, he wasn't able to get there.

I think this is so much better than past games where I could play Manny at shortstop if I wanted. Now if we could just get outfielder range integrated...

But that was Gordon Beckham who has played plenty of 3B in college and professional career.

Yeah, just mentioning it because I was taught it a few years ago playing ball. Wonder why it isn't in the game..
