Here’s a quick tip for helping your team get on the field faster after batting.
Keep all the gloves, hats, sunglasses, etc. in one spot in the dugout
Nothing slows a team of defenders down faster when it comes to getting on the field than players who for some reason forget where all their stuff is right before heading out. Keeping all this stuff in the same area solves this problem. It also allows other players to “pick each other up” when a batter/runner is on the base paths when the 3rd out is made. A teammate can grab his stuff and take it out to him instead of the batter/runner having to run all the way back to the dugout and then back out to his position.
Little things like this help the game move along faster and will also help make your team look a little sharper / more professional than others as well.
