On-field Maintenance & Placement Quiz
Please sign up for the
course
before taking this quiz.
An anchor plug should:
1
never be installed while you are dragging the infield.
be installed slightly below grade so a drag doesn't catch on the edges.
be installed clearly above grade so it is easily visible after dragging the infield.
To properly align the base with the foul line:
1
align the outside edge of the base with the foul (outside) edge of the foul line.
position the outside edge of the base 3-inches into foul territory.
center the base along the foul line.
Rotational play of a base is:
1
an indication of a poorly installed base.
used to reduce wear on 1st base by periodically moving 1st base to 2nd, and so on.
good and meant to reduce the risk of 'wedging' between stanchion and anchor.
