Sommario/riassunto

Outfielders can do something few players in sports can: take points away from the other team! These amazing athletes can snatch home run balls out of the air for outs and make spectacular catches that amaze crowds in parks all over the world. This book takes a look at the special defensive skills outfielders need, and how they learn to play left, center, and right field. It also explores special defensive shifts and the differences between line drives, pop flies, and how to steal home runs to help their pitcher out in a pinch.
