Fielding Your Position


Infielders: 

When determining where infielders should position themselves, understand the importance of knowing the situation, where the runners are on base, the speed of the runners, and each individual arm strength and range. Also be aware of who is Batting and his tendency, who your Pitcher is on the Mound, Pitch Recognition, Pitch Location, and where in the field the ball could be hit. 

Infielders should create an angle to get their bodies moving in the direction of the throw. This is known as getting around the ball. However, the fielder shouldn't take a circular path, but one that is more in the shape of a banana 🍌 just a slightly rounded angle that will get the momentum towards the target and into the throw. That will help infielders get more on their throws, and will be easier on the arm for the long-term.
