Occasionally a rover ( short outfielder ) may play there, but normally no fielder is there.
This position is called shortstop. They act as a cut-off form the outfield on plays that require a relay. They also usually take the throw from the catcher to second base to tag a runner stealing the base.
As a softball player myself, my friend plays first. But, leftys can really play any position. first is most common.

Its called short-stop
A second baseman is an infielder who is usually stationed between first and second base. He is usually in charge of second base, but the short stop can also make plays there.
Most would say first best and second best. Another way they differ is first often plays the higher notes, second lower notes, occasionally first is more associated with melody and second with harmony or secondary melodies.
In softball, the second base role involves fielding ground balls, catching pop flies, and making quick throws to first base or shortstop. The player at second base must also be agile and aware of base runners, as they are often involved in turning double plays. Offensively, the second baseman may be responsible for advancing runners and making strategic plays based on the game situation. Strong communication with teammates, especially the shortstop and first baseman, is crucial for effective defense.
