"Robbie will take first." Coach started to give out instructions to the others on their positions. "Jesse, you have experience at third. Logan, play short. Dalton, you stay at second." He sent them out and away before turning to us. "Noah, I don't need to help you with baserunning, correct?"

My lips twitched. "Do you want them to land in the same area?"
Coach shook his head but was smiling. "You do what you want."
Didn't sound like a 'no' to me.
