They sometimes have to make plays on balls hit in the holes. The shortstop is the “general” on the infield. He has priority over all the infielders.
When a baseball player gains muscle it make the player be an all around better player because baseball is a game is strength and skill. If a player has more strength and skill they will be able to hit the ball further and they would be able to throw the ball a lot harder and further. Most of the time in baseball when players start to take steroids it is normally given to them by there team trainer. Most of the time the trainers don’t tell the players that they are giving them steroids they often just put it into an energy drink and give it to the player so the player will not think it is steroids. There are a few cases where players will take the steroid with out anyone knowing.
Lastly, the pitcher must have different types of throws to strike the batter out. Some pitches are called knuckle, curve, change-up, and fastball. The objective of a knuckle is to keep the ball still with no movement. The curve is a pitch that is hard to hit because it curves down right when it gets to the plate. Third a change-up is thrown when you try to keep the batter off guard; it is usually thrown when holding it with your palm.
What does a championship winning baseball team look like? Are they the hulking, barrel-chested cousins of Paul Bunyan? The answer is rarely. The game of baseball has evolved from teams with the most homeruns always being the victors, to teams with smaller and faster players playing David to the league’s Goliaths.

My Journey to become a College Softball player Raegan Nunez 09/30/2012 3rd Period Honors English--Descriptive Essay Mr. Cornutt I love the thrill of standing at home plate, waiting for the pitcher to release the ball because in those few seconds I get to decide how, if and when to swing my bat. My dad signed me up for softball when I was only about seven or eight years old. I had watched the women’s college softball world series and Arizona State University took the title. It was the most exciting thing I had ever seen and I decided that I wanted to be just like those girls when I grew up.

The pitcher must have the confidence and skills to throw the various types of throws in order to strike a batter out. In some cases the pitcher is also an infielder because if the ball is hit in his region of the field, the pitcher has to act fast to catcher a pop fly or ground the ball and throw the batter out.
