It is probably safe to say most of the action of the defensive side of the ball occurs in the infield. So lets stop wasting time and get on with the basics.
Learning the Proper Ready Position
The ready position is one of the most key aspects to successfully fielding ground balls and getting quick reads. This position should consist of a stance with feet a little more than shoulder width apart, slightly off-set. Hands should be relaxed and infront of the fielder with palms-up facing each other. Also remember to keep elbows in close to the body, not out and flailing. In this position you maximize your chances of getting to a ground ball or line drive on either side and your chances of making a play on it.
