BATTING ORDER
A team should let its best hitters and runners
bat first, because they will get to bat more often during a
game. Here are some tips for a strong batting order.
First

This is an excellent spot for a left handier
Second Batter

MEET THE
TEAM
A baseball team must be strong down the
middle. That means it must have a good pitcher, catcher,
shortstop, second baseman, and center fielder. Next in order
come the first baseman, third baseman, left fielder, and right
fielder.
Let’s talk about the different positions
and how you play them.
