in a row.</figcaption></figure> <p>In baseball and <a href="/wiki/Softball" title="Softball">softball</a>, the <b><a href="/wiki/Second_baseman" title="Second baseman">second baseman</a></b> is a fielding position in the <a href="/wiki/Infielder" title="Infielder">infield</a>, commonly stationed between <a href="/wiki/Baseball_field#Second_base" title="Baseball field">second</a> and <a href="/wiki/Baseball_field#First_base" title="Baseball field">first base</a>. The second baseman often possesses quick hands and feet, needs the ability to get rid of the ball quickly, and must be able to make the pivot on a double play. In addition, second basemen are almost always right-handed. Only four left-handed throwing players have appeared as second basemen in the major leagues since 1950; one of the four, <a href="/wiki/Gonzalo_M%C3%A1rquez" title="Gonzalo Márquez">Gonzalo Márquez</a>, was listed as the second baseman in the starting lineup for two games in 1973, <a href="/wiki/Batting_(baseball)" title="Batting (baseball)">batting</a> in the first <a href="/wiki/Inning" title="Inning">inning</a>, but was replaced before his team took the field on defense, and none of the other three players lasted even a complete inning at the position.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In the <a href="/wiki/Baseball_scorekeeping" title="Baseball scorekeeping">numbering system</a> used to record defensive plays, the second baseman is assigned the number 4. </p><p>Second basemen typically record a double play by receiving a throw from another player to <a href="/wiki/Force_play" title="Force play">force out</a> the runner advancing to second base, then throwing to first base to retire the batter/runner, or by fielding a <a href="/wiki/Ground_out_(baseball)" title="Ground out (baseball)">ground ball</a> and then either throwing to the <a href="/wiki/Shortstop" title="Shortstop">shortstop</a> covering second base or stepping on the base themselves before the throw to first base is made. Second basemen generally benefit in this respect from playing alongside an excellent shortstop with great range and quickness; strong middle infields are regarded as crucial to a team's defensive play, and double play totals are regarded as a strong indicator of their defensive skill. Double plays are also recorded when the second baseman catches a <a href="/wiki/Batted_ball#Line_drive" title="Batted ball">line drive</a>, then throws to a base before the runner can <a href="/wiki/Tag_up" title="Tag up">tag up</a>, or another infielder or the <a href="/wiki/Pitcher" title="Pitcher">pitcher</a> catches the line drive and then throws to the second baseman in the same situation; on occasion, the throw might come from an <a href="/wiki/Outfielder" title="Outfielder">outfielder</a> after an unexpected catch of a fly ball. Other double plays occur when the second baseman records an out at second base, then throws out a runner attempting to advance on the basepaths, or on a <a href="/wiki/Stolen_base" title="Stolen base">double steal</a> attempt in which the <a href="/wiki/Catcher" title="Catcher">catcher</a> throws out a runner attempting to steal second base, and the second baseman throws back to the catcher to retire a runner trying to steal home. Double plays are also occasionally recorded when a <a href="/wiki/Rundown" title="Rundown">rundown</a> play is involved, almost always as the second out. Because of the high number of ground outs, second basemen and shortstops typically record far more double plays than players at any other position except first base. </p><p>Most of the career leaders are relatively recent players who have benefitted from improved infield defense, with equipment of better quality; 9 of the top 14 players made their major league debut after 1962, and only two were active before 1945. Longer careers have compensated for the fact that as <a href="/wiki/Strikeout" title="Strikeout">strikeout</a> totals have risen in baseball, the frequency of other defensive outs including ground outs has declined, with double play totals for second basemen likewise declining; 23 of the top 29 single-season totals were recorded between 1935 and 1974, and none of the top 362 were recorded

href="/wiki/Baseball_positions" title="Baseball positions">baseball or softball fielding position</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Infielder" title="Infielder">infield</a>, commonly stationed between <a href="/wiki/Baseball_field#Second_base" title="Baseball field">second</a> and <a href="/wiki/Baseball_field#Third_base" title="Baseball field">third base</a>, which is considered to be among the <a href="/wiki/Defensive_spectrum" title="Defensive spectrum">most demanding</a> defensive positions. The position is mostly filled by defensive specialists, so shortstops are generally relatively poor <a href="/wiki/Batting_(baseball)" title="Batting (baseball)">batters</a> who typically hit lower in the <a href="/wiki/Batting_order_(baseball)" title="Batting order (baseball)">batting order</a>. In the <a href="/wiki/Baseball_scorekeeping" title="Baseball scorekeeping">numbering system</a> used to record defensive plays, the shortstop is assigned the number 6. </p><p>Shortstops typically record a double play by fielding a <a href="/wiki/Ground_out_(baseball)" title="Ground out (baseball)">ground ball</a> and then either throwing to the <a href="/wiki/Second_baseman" title="Second baseman">second baseman</a> to <a href="/wiki/Force_play" title="Force play">force out</a> the runner advancing to second base, or stepping on the base themselves before throwing to first base to retire the batter/runner, or by receiving a throw from another player to force a runner at second base before the throw to first base is made. Shortstops generally benefit in this respect from playing alongside an excellent second baseman with great range and quickness; strong middle infields are regarded as crucial to a team's defensive play, and double play totals are regarded as a strong indicator of their defensive skill. Double plays are also recorded when the shortstop catches a <a href="/wiki/Batted_ball#Line_drive" title="Batted ball">line drive</a>, then throws to a base before the runner can <a href="/wiki/Tag_up" title="Tag up">tag up</a>, or another infielder or the <a href="/wiki/Pitcher" title="Pitcher">pitcher</a> catches the line drive and then throws to the shortstop in the same situation; on occasion, the throw might come from an <a href="/wiki/Outfielder" title="Outfielder">outfielder</a> after an unexpected catch of a fly ball. Other double plays occur when the shortstop records an out at second base, then throws out a runner attempting to advance on the basepaths, or on a <a href="/wiki/Stolen_base" title="Stolen base">double steal</a> attempt in which the <a href="/wiki/Catcher" title="Catcher">catcher</a> throws out a runner attempting to steal second base, and the shortstop throws back to the catcher to retire a runner trying to steal home. Double plays are also occasionally recorded when a <a href="/wiki/Rundown" title="Rundown">rundown</a> play is involved, almost always as the second out. Because of the high number of ground outs, shortstops and second basemen typically record far more double plays than players at any other position except first base. </p><p>Most of the career leaders are relatively recent players who have benefitted from improved infield defense, with equipment of better quality; nine of the top twelve players made their major league debut after 1969, and only one was active before 1951. Five of the top nine players spent their entire careers with one team. Longer careers have compensated for the fact that as <a href="/wiki/Strikeout" title="Strikeout">strikeout</a> totals have risen in baseball, the frequency of other defensive outs including ground outs has declined, with double play totals for shortstops likewise declining; 18 of the top 25 single-season totals were recorded between 1944 and 1988, and none of the top 478 were recorded before 1920.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Omar_Vizquel" title="Omar

one of the three <a href="/wiki/Outfielder" title="Outfielder">outfielders</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Baseball_positions" title="Baseball positions">defensive positions</a> in baseball farthest from the batter. Left field is the area of the outfield to the left of a person standing at <a href="/wiki/Home_plate" class="mw-redirect" title="Home plate">home plate</a> and facing toward the <a href="/wiki/Pitcher%27s_mound" class="mw-redirect" title="Pitcher's mound">pitcher's mound</a>. The outfielders have to try to catch long <a href="/wiki/Batted_ball#Fly_ball" title="Batted ball">fly balls</a> before they hit the ground or to quickly catch or retrieve and return to the infield any other balls entering the outfield. The left fielder must also be adept at navigating the area of left field where the <a href="/wiki/Glossary_of_baseball_(F)#foul_lines" class="mw-redirect" title="Glossary of baseball (F)">foul line</a> approaches the corner of the playing field and the walls of the seating areas. Being the outfielder closest to third base, the left fielder generally does not have to throw as far as the other outfielders to throw out runners advancing around the bases, so they often do not have the strongest throwing arm, but their throws need to be accurate. The left fielder normally plays behind the <a href="/wiki/Third_baseman" title="Third baseman">third baseman</a> and <a href="/wiki/Shortstop" title="Shortstop">shortstop</a>, who play in or near the infield; unlike <a href="/wiki/Catcher" title="Catcher">catchers</a> and most <a href="/wiki/Infielder" title="Infielder">infielders</a> (excepting <a href="/wiki/First_basemen" class="mw-redirect" title="First basemen">first basemen</a>), who are virtually exclusively right-handed, left fielders can be either right- or left-handed. In the <a href="/wiki/Baseball_scorekeeping" title="Baseball scorekeeping">scoring system</a> used to record defensive plays, the left fielder is assigned the number 7. </p><p>Left fielders are most commonly credited with a double play when they throw the ball to an infielder who <a href="/wiki/Tag_out" title="Tag out">tags a runner</a> attempting to advance on the basepaths, even on a caught fly ball that results in an out (see <a href="/wiki/Tag_up" title="Tag up">tag up</a>); of special importance are throws to the <a href="/wiki/Catcher" title="Catcher">catcher</a> if the runner is trying to reach <a href="/wiki/Home_plate" class="mw-redirect" title="Home plate">home plate</a> to score a <a href="/wiki/Run_(baseball)" title="Run (baseball)">run</a>, perhaps on a <a href="/wiki/Sacrifice_fly" title="Sacrifice fly">sacrifice fly</a>. Left fielders will often record assists by throwing out runners who try to advance farther than the batter, such as going from first to third base on a <a href="/wiki/Single_(baseball)" title="Single (baseball)">single</a>, or batter/runners who try to stretch a <a href="/wiki/Hit_(baseball)" title="Hit (baseball)">hit</a> into a <a href="/wiki/Extra_base_hit" class="mw-redirect" title="Extra base hit">longer one</a>. Outfielders also earn double plays on relay throws to infielders after particularly deep fly balls, by throwing to a base to record an out on an <a href="/wiki/Appeal_play" title="Appeal play">appeal play</a>, or in situations where they might deflect a fly ball before another defensive player makes the catch; in extraordinary instances, right fielders have occasionally recorded double plays by throwing out batters at first base after fielding uncaught line drives that reached them quickly. Outfielders record far fewer double plays than other players due to the difficulty of making an accurate throw in time to retire a runner from a great distance; middle infielders routinely record more double plays in a single season than outfielders do in their entire careers. Double plays are an important statistic for outfielders, giving a greater indication of a left fielder's throwing arm than double plays by infielders do.

The outfielders' duty is to try to catch long <a href="/wiki/Batted_ball#Fly_ball" title="Batted ball">fly balls</a> before they hit the ground or to quickly catch or retrieve and return to the infield any other balls entering the outfield. Generally having the most territory to cover, the center fielder is usually the fastest of the three outfielders, although this can also depend on the relative strength of their throwing arms and the configuration of their home field, due to the deepest part of center field being the farthest point from the infield and home plate. The center fielder normally plays behind the <a href="/wiki/Shortstop" title="Shortstop">shortstop</a> and <a href="/wiki/Second_baseman" title="Second baseman">second baseman</a>, who play in or near the infield; unlike <a href="/wiki/Catcher" title="Catcher">catchers</a> and most <a href="/wiki/Infielder" title="Infielder">infielders</a> (excepting <a href="/wiki/First_basemen" class="mw-redirect" title="First basemen">first basemen</a>), who are virtually exclusively right-handed, center fielders can be either right- or left-handed. In the <a href="/wiki/Baseball_scorekeeping" title="Baseball scorekeeping">scoring system</a> used to record defensive plays, the center fielder is assigned the number 8. </p><p>Center fielders are most commonly credited with a double play when they throw the ball to an infielder who <a href="/wiki/Tag_out" title="Tag out">tags a runner</a> attempting to advance on the basepaths, even on a caught fly ball that results in an out (see <a href="/wiki/Tag_up" title="Tag up">tag up</a>); of special importance are throws to the <a href="/wiki/Catcher" title="Catcher">catcher</a> if the runner is trying to reach <a href="/wiki/Home_plate" class="mw-redirect" title="Home plate">home plate</a> to score a <a href="/wiki/Run_(baseball)" title="Run (baseball)">run</a>, perhaps on a <a href="/wiki/Sacrifice_fly" title="Sacrifice fly">sacrifice fly</a>. Left fielders will often record assists by throwing out runners who try to advance farther than the batter, such as going from first to third base on a <a href="/wiki/Single_(baseball)" title="Single (baseball)">single</a>, or batter/runners who try to stretch a <a href="/wiki/Hit_(baseball)" title="Hit (baseball)">hit</a> into a <a href="/wiki/Extra_base_hit" class="mw-redirect" title="Extra base hit">longer one</a>. Outfielders also earn double plays on relay throws to infielders after particularly deep fly balls, by throwing to a base to record an out on an <a href="/wiki/Appeal_play" title="Appeal play">appeal play</a>, or in situations where they might deflect a fly ball before another defensive player makes the catch; in extraordinary instances, right fielders have occasionally recorded double plays by throwing out batters at first base after fielding uncaught line drives that reached them quickly.
