How Do You Play Third Base In Baseball?
• Position yourself around 7-8 feet to the left of the base as well as a few feet back. This should give you adequate room to catch baseballs hit in your direction. • Work on your range so you can make sure you can catch or at least knock down any ball hit in your direction. • Work on your arm strength and accuracy. A third baseman needs a strong and accurate arm. Know what to do in each situation. With a runner on second or third, you need to be the cut off man on a ball hit to left field.
