Reveals where the baseball was put into play, who fields the baseball from the right or left side of the plate, and whether the play was fielded cleanly or any type of error that may have occurred.

It’s simple and fast to use, here’s how it works: Using the Result outcome between the batter and pitcher, add up a new roll of all 3 six-sided dice, then look up that Result & batting type column for the batter (Left-handed, Right-handed, or Switch hitter) in the Fielding Grid Table. If that roll matches the same color-coded (green, yellow, blue, or red) fielding rating of the fielder, then there may be an error on the play, otherwise it’s fielded cleanly. If you want to see where the ball was hit, cross-reference that code on the Fielding Grid.
