the easiest position in the outfield is the right field. there is an abundance of right handed hitters and not many left handed hitters. hitters love to pull the ball the opposite direction and since there are more right handed hitters than left, the third baseman, shortstop and left fielder have alot to handle. the centerfielder is the toughest outfield position. center field is the deepest part of the stadium therefore the centerfielder has alot of gaps to his responsibility. \n\nIn the infield, the first baseman most often have the easiest job. they just need to hold their ground next to their base and be prepared to catch the ball from the other infielders. that is why you usually see players that are big and not very mobile power hitters, or players that have come off of an injury like nomar garciaparra playing first since first basemans dont need defensive skills. the rest of the infield must have good defense. third base is very difficult because of the right handed hitters pulling the ball as i mentioned. they call third base the hot corner because the balls fly right off the hitters bats like a bullet, and you need quick reaction time or else youll get screwed. a shortstop also needs a cannon arm because of the distance he has to throw the ball to first base, and the ability to turn double plays with the second baseman. the second baseman is the second easiest job in the infield because he is closest to the first baseman, hence he doesnt need much range on his throws like the shortstop. he only has to cover his base, have legit defense and good chemistry with his shortstop for a double play team.

I'd have the 2d baseman do it, as the right handed hitter is more likely to hit the ball to the left side and I'd rather have the infield's left side fully staffed. However, if the pitcher's a smoking righty, the risk is the batter may not get around on the ball and end up hitting towards the right side. If the pitcher's a lefty, I'd still go with the 2d baseman holding the runner.\n\nOUCH!!  Robby Tulsa is right; I'd just woke up when I answered - that's my sorry excuse.

alright ur stance nothing matters stand however u want but before the pitch comes get into a hitting position so you are ready for a fast ball and so you can keep your hands back on a off speed pitch o ya and ur grib should be loose and ur knuckles should be lined up

When you throw a ball in from the sideline, keep your feet on the ground and, even if your teammates are waving their arms in the middle of the field, throw the ball down the sideline. Field position is more important than possesion.

Im the same do the basics,anotther good thing to do is practice your bat swing,im talkin about bat speed,knowing what each pitch looks like,train your eye to pick up the ball mid way between you and the pitcher,make sure your timing is right,dont over step with your lead foot its all in your hips anyway,my coach taught us to place your toe to the cornner of the plate and then bring your toe to where the back of your foot is so you can make contact on any pitch,(on and inside pitch your going to turn your hips sooner making your bat come come closer to you.its the oppsite for and outside pitch your going to wait on the ball and take a slight step inside at the same time swinging your hips to the outside.as for feilding get a good jump on the ball and dont make a catch in an ocward position,get a good angle.

If you like the sun, left field line through center field.  If you want to be in the shade, sit behind home plate or on the right-field line.\n\nRFK "points" more or less east (outfield is on the eastern part of the park) so the sun sets behind home plate.

I played all the positions on my high school team, Catcher was far and away the hardest.\nYou try sitting on your knees for three hours then try to round the bases on a double, its tough

Evaluate your lineup and player attributes. Place the best contact hitters and speed runners near the top of the lineup and play small ball to score runs early. Be aggressive on the bases and try to steal often. Most pitchers won't expect it, or might make a bad throw to the base, either way you advance the runners. Teach the hitters to work the count and take pitches. Most pitchers will not get the ball over the plate everytime. You can get more walks and increase the pitch count on the opposition which will force them to go to the bullpen. Play the outfield deep so they can run toward the ball if it is hit shallow, it is much harder to run backwards and catch a pop fly. Teach pitchers two good pitches and make them stick with it. A decent breaking ball in would very difficult for most 16 yr old hitters to make contact with. Even if the breaking ball ends up in the dirt , they will swing. I could be more specific if you gave more detail on the team's weaknesses.

Fantasy? or are you talking about real baseball. Fantasy. You can't go wrong with either one. In real life, what position do you need fielded. For example,  if I already have soneone like Jose Castillo at 2nd, and Jason Bay at LF (both great players), then I would take AROD to play 3rd for me. If my LF and 2nd Basemen suck, then I'd go for Soraino. It's all bout need. Also, defensively, I think AROD has the edge. Also, Arod would sell more tickets. I think I just convinced myself to take AROD.

If you have a helper one of the best things to do is have them throw you one-hoppers.  While on first base, have someone throw the ball at or right in front of your feet.  You have to scoop the ball keeping one foot on the base.  If not, nothin beets a garage door and a tennis ball.

1.04\nTHE PLAYING FIELD. The field shall be laid out according to the instructions below, supplemented by Diagrams No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 on adjoining pages. The infield shall be a 90-foot square. The outfield shall be the area between two foul lines formed by extending two sides of the square, as in Diagram 1. The distance from home base to the nearest fence, stand or other obstruction on fair territory shall be 250 feet or more. A distance of 320 feet or more along the foul lines, and 400 feet or more to center field is preferable. The infield shall be graded so that the base lines and home plate are level. The pitcher's plate shall be 10 inches above the level of home plate. The degree of slope from a point 6 inches in front of the pitcher's plate to a point 6 feet toward home plate shall be 1 inch to 1 foot, and such degree of slope shall be uniform. The infield and outfield, including the boundary lines, are fair territory and all other area is foul territory. It is desirable that the line from home base through the pitchers plate to second base shall run East-Northeast. It is recommended that the distance from home base to the backstop, and from the base lines to the nearest fence, stand or other obstruction on foul territory shall be 60 feet or more. See Diagram 1. When location of home base is determined, with a steel tape measure 127 feet, 338 inches in desired direction to establish second base. From home base, measure 90 feet toward first base; from second base, measure 90 feet toward first base; the intersection of these lines establishes first base. From home base, measure 90 feet toward third base; from second base, measure 90 feet toward third base; the intersection of these lines establishes third base. The distance between first base and third base is 127 feet, 338 inches. All measurements from home base shall be taken from the point where the first and third base lines intersect. The catcher's box, the batters' boxes, the coaches' boxes, the three-foot first base lines and the next batter's boxes shall be laid out as shown in Diagrams 1 and 2. The foul lines and all other playing lines indicated in the diagrams by solid black lines shall be marked with wet, unslaked lime, chalk or other white material. The grass lines and dimensions shown on the diagrams are those used in many fields, but they are not mandatory and each club shall determine the size and shape of the grassed and bare areas of its playing field. NOTE (a) Any Playing Field constructed by a professional club after June 1, 1958, shall provide a minimum distance of 325 feet from home base to the nearest fence, stand or other obstruction on the right and left field foul lines, and a minimum distance of 400 feet to the center field fence. (b) No existing playing field shall be remodeled after June 1, 1958, in such manner as to reduce the distance from home base to the foul poles and to the center field fence below the minimum specified in paragraph (a) above.

Watch the pitcher in a game when a runner is on base. Insted of keeping his heels on the rubber and taking his back step(windup step) and winding up his arms, he will turn and keep his push off foot on the rubber. This allows him to make a quick move if he has to throw to a base, and to watch the runner. You can't pick off a runenr from that position because once you start you have to throw home or it is a baulk and the runner advances. Any type of off speed pitch such as a curve ball, slider, sinker, knuckle ball, spliter, etc is a breaking ball. Basically anything but a fast ball and sometimes a cahnge up. I taught my brother a change up pitch that breaks so its still a breaking ball.

being a first baseman myself, my advice would be that the most important skill is to be able to catch balls in the dirt - mostly bad throws from 2B, SS, 3B. another is the stretch to catch the ball. tall isnt as important as long - being able to reach out and catch the ball the earliest possible. quickness isnt really an issue, you only need to move 15 feet MAX to either side.
