Infielder
An infielder in the context of baseball, particularly within Major League Baseball and its American League division, is a key position player on the field. These players are stationed at various infield positions, including first base, second base, third base, and shortstop. Infielder's primary responsibilities include receiving throws from other infielders, making accurate throws to other bases or home plate, fielding ground balls and fly balls, and covering their assigned bases during plays. Their agility, quick reflexes, strong arms, and ability to make split-second decisions are essential for success in this role. Infielder's performance significantly impacts the overall defensive strategy and execution of a baseball team.
