How Do You Play Third Base In Softball?
• Know where to stand. Third base is typically played about half way between the base and home plate. So if you are more experienced, you could play at this spot, but if you are less experienced you might want to play a couple of steps back. • Develop a strong arm. Playing this base requires somewhat of a strong arm, so practicing your long throws can help you make the ball go further. Be ready for the batter to bunt. If he/she does, you need to be there to make the play. If a player bunts, it is between you the catcher, pitcher and first baseman to get the ball and throw an out.
