Note on the video below. I put some clips of some good defense in there. This is not to embarrass the hitter that maybe grounded into a dp but to show some defense. Also there is a clip of a player bobbling the ball and making an error. I wanted to show that although the bouncy ball Dudley hycor took decent bounces on the artificial turf it did tend to bounce out of a lot of gloves on grounders and especially line drives.
