Can someone explain Pearsons defensive positioning in the 9th?

The tying run was already on second and we played on the track with no doubles defense allowing a weak routine single score the run. It defies all logic

It was terrible.

Wasn’t that the #9 for UNC?

Defensive positioning has been the biggest weakness of Jay's teams

Sometimes shifts don’t work that happens. But this defied ALL logic

Shifting to prevent a double which allows a weak single to beat you is ILLOGICAL

if the base runner was on 1st it makes sense. Did Jay get confused?

People have been talking about questionable defensive positioning all week. We’ve had plenty of shifts that worked, but it seems like the other team gets way more seeing eye singles than us. Iirc, that way a righty hitting with Pearson basically playing left center field. I can’t imagine the statistics backing that up

The outfield was playing deep all night. Look at Brown in CF early in the game. Ball right in front that should have been playable. I’m not blaming that for the L, but definitely stuck out

Against WF Jay actually called a shift that would have had Tre Morgan out of the play. Luckily Morgan missed the sign from Jay

Dead serious
