What is the short fielder position?

In slow pitch softball there are often 10 players on the field instead of the traditional 9. The 10th player is that short fielder, sometimes called a "rover", who plays in the outfield, usually at a shallow depth between the outfielders and infield.

Most teams will shift the short fielder from right to left, depending on the batter. Generally speaking, right handed batters hit more balls to the left side of the field, so the short fielder moves more to that side, and vice versa for left handed batters.

Construction is basically the same - softball gloves are just larger than baseball gloves due to fact that softballs are bigger. Softball gloves tend to be 13" and bigger, and baseball gloves are less than 13".

If you play both softball and baseball and want to stick with just one glove, then buy a softball glove.

From The Coach

That's right - Construction and leather are the same (for respective models).

But Slowpitch have bigger pockets to accommodate 12" softballs are are typically designed for men's larger hands and fingers.

When a pitcher throws the ball in the dirt the umpire takes it out of the game. If the batter hits a ground ball why is it also not taken out?

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.
