Everything a new fielder needs.

Two teams, three outs, runs and innings. The whole game in about two minutes.

Four bases, a dirt diamond, grass to the fence, and two white lines.

Pitcher to right fielder — where everyone stands and what they're there for.

Every position has a number, 1 to 9. It's how plays get their names — like the famous 6-4-3.

You throw every pitch — and the second it's hit, you're the closest fielder to everything.

The only player who sees the whole field — and the last one standing between a runner and a run.

More outs go through your glove than anyone else's. Catch everything.

You live in the middle of everything: double plays, steals, and every relay from right field.

The hardest-hit balls on the field come at you — and you get no time to think.

Captain of the infield. More ground balls, more ground to cover, more decisions than anyone.

The busiest outfield spot — and the shortest throws when it matters.

The most grass, the most ground to cover, and the loudest voice in the outfield.

Home of the strongest arm on the field — and the smartest choices about when to use it.

The first thing every fielder learns. Sometimes you just step on the bag. Sometimes you have to catch the runner.

The runner closest to home is the dangerous one. When you have time, go get THEM.

Runner on first, ground ball to the infield. You can get TWO outs if you go to second first.

Going for the big play is fun. Everybody safe is not. Know when to take the easy one.

With two outs, ANY force ends the inning — and the run doesn't count. Even if they crossed the plate.

Runner on third, close game. Coach yells "infield in!" Now the play is at home.

Outfielders: when you can't get the lead runner, keep everybody else where they are.

After you catch it, runners can take off from their base. Know who is going — and who you can get.

Throwing to a base where nobody is running gives away a free base — and the out you had.
