Practice makes perfect. If your baseball position is as a second baseman, get to practice a little early and practice turning the double play with the shortstop.
Or you might practice covering first base while the first baseman is taking grounders, so he’ll get used to throwing to a teammate instead of racing the batter to the base.
It’s really important to practice fielding with the other fielders that you work with in a game, so that you all have confidence in each other.
A baseball team would like to consider every ground ball hit to an infielder as a “sure out.” But this can be achieved only by a lot of hard work in fielding practice sessions - taking ground balls, fielding pop-ups, etc. - and with plenty of concentration on the part of all the infielders, along with an abundance of natural talent. Playing the infield requires great athletic skill, but these skills can be developed by practicing fielding regularly.
