Fielding Techniques: The Ready Position

The ready position or proper fielding position before each pitch is as follows:

• Body lean slightly forward
• Weight on the balls of feet, heels up
• Knees bent
• Glove down and ready
• Shoulders square
• Feet shoulder width apart
• Eyes focused

A baseball fielder in this position can easily move forward, backward, right, or left with great quickness.
