What are some examples of offensive/defensive strategies that could be used when playing softball?

For example, Softball scouting is something that many coaches are doing every time they are at the ballpark during the offseason and regular season.  It could be for the purpose of gathering information for the when you play the team you are watching, or to see what other teams are doing and how your team compares in general.  It is a form of observation and evaluation.  You may use anything from a notebook that you carry around or an elaborate smartphone or computer system that includes forms, graphs, and charts.  Either way, it becomes a part of a plan for the coach to prepare the team for competition through the season to the main competition.

Hope this helps...!
