The Aggressive Offense
by Bill Redmer
Aggressive short game offensive strategies and play should become an important part of your fastpitch philosophy. An aggressive offense is one that uses contact hitting, running slap-bunting, smart baserunning, head first sliding, sliding around the tag, stealing 3rd and the suicide squeeze. Speed, speed, and more speed. You need to force the defense into making plays within 3 seconds. You need to take the strikeout away from power pitchers. Contact hitting does all that.
Aggressive offensive strategies force your opponent to try to make defensive plays quickly, making throwing and fielding errors more likely because of the stress of force, rushed execution. When a team is taken out of its routine and or comfort level, most defenses can be cracked with constant time against play pressure, that is being forced into making the play in 3 or less seconds. Younger and less inexperienced teams are really venerable to these style tactics. Teams behind in the score are also venerable as well.
