    Left Field/Key Attributes

    Baseball, Outfielder, 2004, by Rick Dikeman 03:43, 16 September 2004 . . Rdikeman . . 360×540 (56,673 bytes) Image via Wikipedia

    Specialty Position

    The left fielder is a specialty position . We all know that in Little League the strongest players play in the infield. This doesn’t mean that outfielders are not important! Quite the contrary, picking up outs in the outfield is a huge bonus. The left fielder needs to be one of your best outfielders as they will likely get the most action.

    The left fielder should be fairly quick. They will need to be able to track fly balls and get to them quickly if needed. They don’t have to have the strongest arm because they generally only throw the ball to second, shortstop as cutoff, and third base . None of these throws are very long.

    Key Characteristics

    Here are some characteristics of a good left fielder:

    • Dedicated
    • Quick
    • Able to track fly balls

    A left fielder that makes every routine play as well as some spectacular ones can get a good pitcher some very key outs.

    Can you think of any other valuable characteristics a left fielder should have? Please share them.
