Baseball

The main issue is that first base is on the right side, so you can't apply the same shift to a righty as you would to a lefty. A real dramatic shift on a left handed hitter like Ryan Howard has the third baseman playing at about the shortstop position, the shortstop playing closer to the second baseman's usual position, the second baseman playing in right field, the right fielder playing in very deep right field, and the first baseman guarding the line. You can't do the same for a righty. On a right handed pure pull hitter, the third baseman may guard the line, the shortstop will move towards third, and the second baseman will be behind the bag. But the first baseman must be close enough to first to handle a throw. And the shortstop can't play in left field, because he'd be too far away from first base to throw the guy out. So you can't shift a righty nearly as dramatically as you can shift a lefty.

Like an outfielder because he doesn't control all the play and doesn't create the plays like a quarterback.

it was something monarchs i forget that's why i am asking this question

Currently, hitting coach Steve Henderson wears #5 for the Philadelphia Phillies.

Yes an error counts as an at bat, but not a hit. You would be 0 for 1 on the play, but your on base percentage goes up because you have reached base safely. Errors can be committed on sacrifice bunts and sacrifice flies. If the official scorer rules a play a sacrifice bunt/fly and an error, the batter is not charged with a time at bat. On base percentage goes down when reaching base on an straight error.

ERA is based on 9 innings pitched. When you see a pitcher with a 4.94 ERA that means for every 9 innings pitched, he gives up 4.94 earned runs.

Example: A pitcher has pitched 150 innings and given up 60 earned runs.

1) Divide the number of earned runs (60) by the number of innings pitched (150) =0.40.

2) Then take that number (0.4) and multiply it by 9 =3.60.

A pitcher who has pitched 150 innings and given up 60 earned runs has an ERA of 3.60.

The athlete's get payed like in any other job. they receive a check but when you say pro it could mean many different things i once knew a guy that played professional baseball but not in America he went to china and he had a salary that they broke down into monthly payments say it was 400,000 they divided it by 12 and that was how they did it in other cases like if your in minor league baseball which is sometimes considered professional baseball they have a food salary which is how much they can spend on food a day here's an example: they could possible spend 10 dollars on breakfast 15 on lunch and 20 at dinner they would keep receipts and be reimbursed at the end of the week. Depends on how you look at it

A pitch which hits the dirt often becomes discolored or has scuff marks on it due to the nature of the soil material around home plate. This happens at a fairly high rate of speed A batted ball in the infield usually hits grass first and at an angle that these scuff marks do not occur. A ball that is chopped and hits the HP circle is taken out of play. This is more so in the major league ranks, then in HS, college, or low minor leagues, where baseballs are at a premium.

Infielder and coach Frank Crosetti wore three numbers during his time on the Yankees. He wore number 5 from 1932-35 (later retired for Joe DiMaggio), number 1 from 1937-44 (later retired for Billy Martin), and number 2 from 1945-68

What makes a good baseball player? To have a good baseball player takes 5 things: 1.To always have a positive attitude. 2.Always showing leadership. 3.Doing the best he can do. 4.Practicing everyday even when there is no team practice or game 5.Finally,having pride whether you lose or win and having great sportsmanship. Its not about skill its about the 5 things i said and you may think im like a hippie trying to make peace but look these things are true.It doesnt matter if you can pitch 103MPPH like Stephen Stratsburgh or pitch 62MPH like me.
