This diagram illustrates a classic force play situation in baseball, where a batter becomes a runner and forces the baserunner on first to advance toward second. The blue spheres represent runners on first and second base, while the yellow oval labeled “Force” highlights the mandatory out zone at first base. The infield diamond and baseline paths are clearly marked to show the required defensive action.
