Best Answer

For 2 reasons. 1st; To confuse the other team

2nd; Somewhere in the audible will be an optional play. The color will tell

which side the play will go to and the number will tell which slot the

player will run through or if it's a pass play.

they do that because its code names so the other team wont know what play is about to happen. for example, the coach for team tornadoes will yell, "75" which that might mean hit the ball to third base. the opposing team won't know what you're talking about. this is a good winning strategy to use.
