The field sets the speed of play: how fast runners run and throws travel, where fielders stand, and how far out the cutoffs go. High school, college and pro fields are 90 ft. A ballpark changes only the outfield wall. Park shapes are drawn from published distances and are approximate; Simple Fielding isn't affiliated with or endorsed by MLB, any MLB club, or Little League Baseball, Inc.

Little League baseball (60 ft) doesn't allow leadoffs, so runners can't leave until the pitch reaches the batter. Softball runners leave when the pitch is released. Turn leadoffs on for 50/70, travel ball, or older divisions.

Drag left or right anywhere on the field (not from home plate) to scrub back and forth through a play.

Grounder got through? After a ground ball, drag the pulsing ring (where the infielder tried for it) to where the ball rolled. Everyone plays it as a ball that got by.

Ask first: each play stops at the hit with the paths hidden, so you can ask "where does everybody go?" Press Play to see.

Keyboard: Space play/pause · ← → step through the play · N next play · P projector mode · R reset · W whiteboard.

Whiteboard: an Apple Pencil or stylus always draws, and a finger moves players, runners and the ball. You can draw and move without switching tools. A drawing stays on top when you tap Done, until you run the next play.

Simple Fielding is free and has no ads or accounts. It's built by a dad with kids in Little League. Buy me a coffee to help keep it going.
