A baseball 'assist' is given when a fielder 'assists' in the making of an 'out' of an opposing player. For example, a ground ball is hit to the third baseman who throws the ball to the first baseman standing on first base who makes the 'out' by touching first base before the runner who hit the ball does. The first baseman is credited with a 'put out' and the third basemen is credited with an 'assist.'

AnswerBy the rules of MLB, you can use a catchers mitt or even no glove at all in the outfield. The reason they don't use a first baseman's glove is that they don't need to. A first baseman's glove is bigger so that a less than perfect throw, or a liner in foul territory has a better chance of being caught. Outfeilders move to the ball, so they don't need a bigger glove. A first baseman's glove has a flat side, therefore as the outfielder is moving it would be harder for him to catch the ball; also, a first baseman's mitt is heavier than an outfielder's glove.
What is a goodfielding percentage?
For players that played at least 1000 games with the Yankees, that would be first baseman Don Mattingly at .996. First baseman Tino Martinez is second at .994.
if the out would be the third no, it is up to the descrestion of the scorekeeper for example, if there was a runner on third with one out and you bunted the and the third baseman overthrew first, then it would be an rbi, but if the second baseman missed the throw to the first baseman with two outs, then there would be no rbi

In a traditional baseball infield rotation sequence known as "around the horn," the ball is thrown from the third baseman to the second baseman, then to the first baseman, and finally back to the pitcher. This helps practice and maintain quick and accurate fielding and throwing skills among the infielders.

Yes. A typical third baseman glove is 11.5 to 12 inches and first baseman's gloves are usually between 12 and 14 inches. First baseman's gloves fingers are also webbed differently so it makes it eaiser to catch a ball
