Last week, I talked about how to attack Kopp Jun, today I want to talk to you about the basic defensive layout on the baseball field, in order not to be confused when watching the game, from now on to play the spirit to listen to the lessons!

Previously, we learned what it means to block, pick up, and touch, all of which can be achieved through the mutual passing of the nine defensive members on the court, and it is not only the pitcher and the catcher who are fighting alone.

Here Koppjun also wants to remind everyone that when the defensive members pass the ball to each other, it does not matter if the ball lands, such as the following figure, the defensive member passes the ball to the catcher, as long as the catcher receives the ball first and touches the baseman, it can cause the attacking side to knock out.
Four infielders lined up in hand
Of course, the defensive members are not glued together like a pot of porridge, just like playing a game requires positioning, and there are relatively fixed positions on the baseball field, and when watching the game, you will find that in addition to the shooting members, there are four infielders and three outfielders.
First base, second base, third baseman, as the name suggests, is the player standing on the corresponding base pack, but there are four people in the infielder, how can three be missing one? The rest of the one is called a guerrilla, don't forget Ha!
Yankees guerrilla Didi Gregorius
A first baseman is responsible for catching the ball shot by a teammate or batter in the direction of first base, and it is his job to complete the block.
Sometimes, the batter hits the ball to third base, and the third baseman receives the ball and passes it back to first base, which requires the defensive member's extremely strong arm strength.
This accurate long pass, just ask you are not scary?
Second basemen, although they don't need long passes like third basemen, they are also relatively larger in terms of guarding, so second basemen need more instantaneous reactions and on-the-spot response capabilities.
For example, after receiving the ball, whether you can quickly observe the situation of the running base on the field and continue to let the attackers out is also one of the necessary cultivations for second basemen.
The shortstops generally stand near second base, of course, according to the batting tendencies and habits of different batters to adjust the position, so they generally move around a very large range, so the range of defense is also larger, is the most difficult infielder defender.

Three outfielders in place
After saying that the infielder naturally talks about the outfield, the layout of the outfielder is also clear, one in the middle, one on the left and one on the left.
The centre-timers tend to be in larger positions than the other two. In addition to having super long passing arm strength, these outfielders must also have meticulous observation to pick up and kill the high flying ball.
The speed of this reaction is truly amazing
In addition, there are often cases where the outfielder confiscates the home run near the wall of the home run, and the cornice walking wall is extremely skilled.
How big is the psychological shadow area of the hitter
Of course, the position on the field is not accurate to a certain "X, Y axis", or it is necessary to adapt to the situation, such as encountering a stronger batter, the overall position of the defensive member can be adjusted backwards.
Defenders may also shift their positions collectively to the left when they encounter a batter who often hits the ball to the left, and sometimes even move an infielder to the outfield.
However, the batter is not a vegetarian, and since the position adjustment of the defender has been observed, he will also have his own response strategy, so what will the batter do? Let's explore it together in the next issue.
