3-2 count. Move out of double play depth?

It's something that should probably be considered more often than it is. When the count runs full and you suspect that the runner at 1st could be in motion, do you move your infielders out of double play depth to improve their range?

Certainly, if there are two outs and the runner at 1st is guaranteed to be in motion you will unequivocally move the infielders out of double play depth.

But, what if there is 1 out? 0 outs? Should you consider that as well?

I suppose it's a decision very much like many other decisions in the game of baseball. Pitchout and risk a ball? Play no doubles and risk a single? Hit and run and risk a double play?

Yet, I think that coaches simply get caught up in at bats and don't think pitch to pitch. With a 3-2 count there is a very good opportunity to start the runner. Coaches should consider moving their infielders out of double play depth and giving them an opportunity to field the ball.

What if the batter swings and misses? You wouldn't have an opportunity for a strike 'em out throw 'em out double play. Agreed. So, the idea isn't necessarily if you think the runner is going that you should move the infielders out of position. More likely, if you suspect that the runner is going and a strikeout is unlikely.

I'll continue to look for the 3-2 count move the infielders out of double play depth.
