Get as close as you can and set your f/stop to wide open. In this case, f/2.8 .
And I’m not familiar with that lens, but some of my longer lenses have focus limiters so you can set it not to focus close.

Thanks for the kind words. I made the switch to Sony last year after shooting Canon for most of my life. I do feel that the Sony does have better dynamic range than what I was getting with my Canons. The extra pixels aren't bad either. There are a few more sports images on my website if you are interested. lancesimkins.com/sports

If you can get really, really close to the netting... right up against it if possible.... that should prevent it from interfering with focus and, so long as you use a fairly large aperture, not have too significant effect on images.
Still, it would be better to relocate to place where you can shoot through a gap or where there are no obstructions at all. There's always some loss of image quality shooting through fencing or netting.

When I shot Marlins baseball games I used to change my seat 13 rows behind home plate to get away from the netting. Bp

As everyone says - put your lens up against the netting, that really helps. OR - bring a smaller camera like a super zoom compact, or a micro four thirds, if you have one -- and stick the little lens through the netting. Its better than nothing!! OR - if you ask the referee nicely - he may let you on the field !!
