As a softball player myself, my friend plays first. But, leftys can really play any position. first is most common.
This is a myth that lefthanders don't play catcher, they do! It's just not very common.
The umpire does not have to call time when the ball is in the infield, BUT when the pitcher has it in the circle so the play is OFFICIALLY dead.
UT = Utility Player or someone who can play multiple positions, such as in the infield or outfield
Most softball bases today are made out of rubber. They do have a metal bottom that allows the base to stay where it is supposed to be. There are throw-down bases that are made out of foam and can be thrown down anywhere.
you can either play first second third base or shortstop.
In softball, you can position all defensive players on the infield, but it would leave the outfield completely unprotected. Typically, teams have a minimum of three outfielders to cover the larger area of the field. If you choose to place all players infield, it may create strategic disadvantages, especially against teams with strong hitters who can easily hit the ball into the outfield.
A player who is not a starter that can play several different defensive positions.
Second, Short and First
softball players are girls, there are nine postions! depends on your position to tell what you do? then offence hits three strikes your out! four balls you get first base and can steal second if your smart and do it right IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT SOFTBALL PLAYERS DO THEN YOUR WEIRD. NOT SMART!!!!!! okay then, BYE!!!
10 if you play in with a short center. 9 if ou play without. it matters how you want to play.
The pitcher and catcher are those directly involved with the batter and pitching. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd basemans and the shortstop all play on the infield. The right, center and left fielders all play in the outfield.
The infield arc for 70-foot bases typically refers to the distance from home plate to the arc's edge, which is used in youth baseball and softball leagues. For 70-foot bases, the infield arc is generally set at 95 feet from home plate, creating a semi-circle that helps define the area where infield play occurs. This arc assists players in understanding field positioning and making plays in the infield. The specific measurements can vary slightly depending on the league's regulations.
