First baseman also helps prevent steals from first to second base. The first base is usually involved in every hit that occurs on the playing field. the person who are at the first base have quick hands and are always on the lookout to catch the player off base.
Second baseman plays in between the first baseman and the gap at second. If the ball is hit to the left side of the field, second covers second base. If the ball is hit on their side of the field, they back up the fielder, cover first, or field the ball depending on where it is hit. The second baseman also is the cut off on balls hit to the right side of the outfield. The second baseman also throws directly to the catcher to prevent runners from scoring. Mostly, when the ball is hit to the left side of the field, the second basemen plays second for shortstop.

Shortstops. Most short stops are very quick, agile and think fast. Shortstops may play in a restricted zone but are faced with many types of hits and interact closely with the 2nd base, 3rd base, and home plate. Often double plays are due to quick thinking by the short stop.
Third baseman covers all hits to the third base and receives balls from the outfield. The third base person also frequently throws the ball to the catcher trying to run out the runner at home plate. The individual at third base usually thinks fast because of the types of hits that commonly occur in that zone. Third Base is probably the most defensive position on defense.
Outfielders players that cover the grassy area behind the infield. Outfielders are named for their positions in the field relative to home plate. Traditional outfield positions include a Left Fielder, a Center Fielder, and a Right Fielder. These players usually back up the plays made by the infielders and make plays when the ball is hit past or over the infield.
