I wasn't sure which forum to post this, so I picked here. Anyways, when in a tournament or showcase game, as far as scouting goes, is it better for an outfield to dive for a ball (to show effort) and perhaps miss (assuming the OF is not backed up and give up the extra base, or should he just play it safe by letting the ball drop and hold the runner. My opinion is to try to make the play and take the risk and show the effort. I have been curious about this. Perhaps PGStaff could provide a response. Thanks a bunch as always!
