The usual position of the shortstop is somewhere between 2nd and 3rd base and about 60ft behind the base line. The second baseman similarly stands between 2nd base and 1st base and behind the base line. Against left-hand batters, the shortstop is closer to second and the 2nd baseman stand closer to first, as a rule. Both fielders adjust left or right and deeper or shallower depending on the hitter.

The shortstop and second baseman are called middle infielders for their obvious position in the infield.

Does many things, turns double plays, one of the fastest on the field, must have good team work with shortstop, and is genrally a good, contact hitter
