FIELD DRAGGING PROCEDURE
- Use a rake to pull soil away from the grass lines.
- Drag the entire infield with the metal drag, staying one foot away from the grass lines.
- Rake the 1st and 3rd baselines towards the center of the baseline (not grass line to grass line).
- Rake the home plate area inward from the grass line toward home plate, filling any low spots.
- Rake the pitching mound away from the grass toward the center, filling any low spots.
- Wet down the entire dirt area of the infield. Since it dries quickly, apply a generous amount of water.
- If you are the last team on the field, use even more water.
