A right fielder is a player in baseball who occupies the outfield position on the right side of the field. This player is responsible for catching fly balls, fielding ground balls, and making accurate throws to the infield. The right fielder often needs to have a strong arm to prevent runners from advancing on the bases. In addition to defensive duties, the right fielder also contributes to the team's offense by batting. They may have opportunities to hit home runs or drive in runs, making them an important part of the lineup. Successful right fielders, like Babe Ruth or Mookie Betts, are known for their combination of hitting and fielding skills.
