Shortstop - definition of Shortstop in Encyclopedia (267 words) |
 | Shortstop is the most dynamic position in baseball, because there are more right-handed hitters in baseball than left-handed hitters, and most hitters have a tendency to pull the ball slightly, so more balls go to the shortstop than any other position. |
| Shortstops are required to cover second base in double play situations when the ball is hit to the second baseman, first baseman, pitcher, or catcher. |
| Shortstops generally are given precedence on catching popups in the infield as well, so they end up calling off other players many times, although on deep popups they fall back when an outfielder calls them off. |
