Baseball positions


Baseball is a bat-and-ball game played between two opposing teams who take turns batting and fielding. Within the game there are positions in which each player can play in.
There are nine fielding positions in baseball. Each position conventionally has an associated number, for use in scorekeeping by the official scorer:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 8, and 9. Collectively, these positions are usually grouped into three groups: the outfield, the infield, and the battery. Traditionally, players within each group will often be more able to exchange positions easily ; however the pitcher and catcher are highly specialized positions and rarely will players at other positions play there.
