Ready Position : the body position achieved before the ball is hit, in general, the closer the defender is to the hitter, the lower and wider they are. 2. Fielding Position: the body position achieved when a defender is fielding/catching the ball, it is dependent on the type of ball hit, the position played , and the defensive situation. 3. Throwing Position: the body position achieved when a defender is prepared to throw, this can also changed based on the position played and defensive situation.
