In baseball, there are nine positions on the field, each with specific roles. The pitcher throws the ball to the batter, while the catcher catches pitches that are not hit. The infield consists of four positions: first baseman, second baseman, shortstop, and third baseman, who field balls hit on the ground. The outfield includes three players: left fielder, center fielder, and right fielder, who catch fly balls and prevent runs. Each position requires different skills and responsibilities. The pitcher must have strong throwing abilities, while the catcher needs to be quick and agile. Infielders focus on fielding ground balls and making quick throws, while outfielders track fly balls and cover large areas of the field. Together, these positions work as a team to defend against the opposing team's offense.
