Infield-
Catcher - The catcher is behind home plate. They catch the pitches, call what pitch will be thrown (examples- fastball, change up, curve ball, screw ball, drop or rise ball, inside or outside pitch, and much more!) , and throw people out when they steel bases.
Pitcher - The pitch throws the ball down home plate (to the catcher) for the batter to hit.
First basemen - Plays next to first base
Second basemen - Plays between first and second base.
Shortstop - Plays between second and third base. The shortstop is in charge of the infield
