In baseball , the pitcher is the player who throws the baseball from the pitcher 's mound toward the catcher to begin each play , with the goal of retiring a batter , who attempts to either make contact with the pitched ball or draw a walk . In the numbering system used to record defensive plays , the pitcher is assigned the number 1 . The pitcher is often considered the most important player on the defensive side of the game , and as such is situated at the right end of the defensive spectrum . There are many different types of pitchers , such as the starting pitcher , relief pitcher , middle reliever , lefty specialist , setup man , and the closer . Traditionally , the pitcher also bats . Starting in 1973 with the American League and spreading to further leagues throughout the 1980s and 1990s , the hitting duties of the pitcher have generally been given over to the position of designated hitter , a cause of some controversy . The National League in Major League Baseball and the Japanese Central League are among the remaining leagues that have not adopted the designated hitter position .
The USC Trojans baseball program represents the University of Southern California in college baseball . Established in 1888 , the team is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the Pac-12 Conference . USC home 's field is Dedeaux Field , which is named in honor of former head coach and National College Baseball Hall of Fame inductee Rod Dedeaux . The USC Trojans are one of the most successful programs in the history of college baseball . The Trojans have won more baseball national championships than any other program across all divisions of college baseball . With 12 national championships , USC is far and away the leader in that category ; no other Division I school has more than six . As of June 30 , 2018 , USC also ranked fifth in all-time College World Series ( CWS ) appearances with 21 , trailing only Texas ( 36 ) , Miami ( FL ) ( 25 ) , and Arizona State ( 22 ) , and Florida State ( 22 ) . The Trojans have won more individual CWS games ( 74 ) than any program but Texas ( 85 ) . USC also ranked fourth in all-time NCAA Tournament wins with 173 - trailing only Texas ( 240 ) , Miami ( 192 ) , and Florida State ( 192 ) - and eighth in total NCAA Tournament appearances with 37 . The Trojans have compiled an all-time record of 2,884-1,685-28 ( .630 ) - ranking fifth in all-time wins and 18th in all-time win percentage - and have captured outright or tied for 38 conference championships , as of the end of the 2018 season . USC 's most notable baseball coach was Rod Dedeaux , who coached from 1942 from 1986 and led the school to 11 of its NCAA championships , including five straight from 1970 to 1974 . The first Trojan national championship came in 1948 .
Anthony Keith Weber ( April 27 , 1942 - February 18 , 2011 ) was a quarterback and pitcher for the University of Missouri , most notable for holding the NCAA record for career earned run average with a career ERA of 0.56 . As a junior , Weber helped lead Missouri to the 1963 College World Series , where they were eliminated by eventual champion Southern California . In 1964 , Weber earned First-team All-American honors while anchoring a Missouri pitching staff that still holds the NCAA record for lowest single-season team ERA , surrendering just 19 earned runs in 264 innings for an ERA of 0.65 . Weber and Missouri again reached the College World Series , falling to Minnesota in the championship game . In his two trips to the College World Series , Weber pitched 24 1/3 innings while giving up zero earned runs , which remains the most innings pitched by anyone in the College World Series without giving up an earned run . Upon his graduation from Missouri in 1964 , Weber played collegiate summer baseball for the Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape Cod Baseball League , and that October pitched for the United States at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo , Japan . Weber then played a single season of minor league baseball in 1965 with the Williamsport Mets before returning to Missouri to attend law school while working as an assistant football coach under Dan Devine . After a career in real estate , Weber died of kidney cancer on February 18 , 2011 .
The Missouri Tigers baseball team represents the University of Missouri in NCAA Division I college baseball . The Missouri Tigers had an overall record of 2053-1339-17 entering the 2012 season .
Catcher is a position for a baseball or softball player . When a batter takes his/her turn to hit , the catcher crouches behind home plate , in front of the ( home ) umpire , and receives the ball from the pitcher . In addition to this primary duty , the catcher is also called upon to master many other skills in order to field the position well . The role of the catcher is similar to that of the wicket-keeper in cricket , but in cricket , wicketkeepers are increasingly known for their batting abilities . Positioned behind home plate , the catcher can see the whole field , and is therefore in the best position to direct and lead the other players in a defensive play . The catcher typically calls for pitches using hand signals . The calls are based on the pitcher 's mechanics and strengths , as well as the batter 's tendencies and weaknesses . Foul tips , bouncing balls in the dirt , and contact with runners during plays at the plate are all events to be handled by the catcher , necessitating the use of protective equipment . This includes a mask , chest and throat protectors , shin guards , and a heavily padded catcher 's mitt . Because the position requires a comprehensive understanding of the game 's strategies , the pool of former catchers yields a disproportionate number of managers in both Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball , including such prominent examples as Connie Mack , Steve O'Neill , Al López , Mike Scioscia , and Joe Torre . The physical and mental demands of being involved on every defensive play can wear catchers down over a long season , and can have a negative effect on their offensive output . Because of the strategic defensive importance of catching , if a catcher has exceptional defensive skills , teams are often willing to overlook their relative offensive weaknesses .
Kenneth Raymond Suarez ( Born April 12 , 1943 ) is an American former professional baseball player . He played as a catcher in Major League Baseball from 1966 to 1973 . The 5 ' 9 , 175 lb . right-handed hitter is best remembered for a suit he filed against the Texas Rangers in which he claimed that his February 12 , 1974 trade to the Cleveland Indians was in retaliation for his having filed for arbitration . Suarez never reported to camp for the Indians , retiring at just thirty years old , instead .
The Florida State Seminoles baseball team represents Florida State University ( variously Florida State or FSU ) in the sport of college baseball . Florida State competes in NCAA Division I , and the Atlantic Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference ( ACC ) . The Florida State Seminoles are the winningest NCAA Division I college baseball program in percentage of games won , with an all-time win percentage of .725 as of the 2019 season . The Seminoles rank sixth in all-time number of total wins and third in post-season wins . The Seminoles have appeared in the NCAA Tournament fifty-seven times , advancing to the College World Series twenty-three times - and have appeared in the CWS Championship Game or Championship Series on three occasions in 1970 , 1986 and 1999 . Florida State has won eleven regular season conference championships and twenty conference tournament championships , including eight ACC tournament titles . Florida State has had ninety-five All-Americans , forty-one players inducted into the Hall of Fame , and sixty-two players that went on to play Major League Baseball . Former Seminoles who have gone on to have success include Randy Choate , J. D. Drew , Stephen Drew , Ron Fraser , Johnny Grubb , Terry Kennedy , Doug Mientkiewicz , Shane Robinson , Larry Rothschild , Tony La Russa , Paul Sorrento , Kevin Cash , Woody Woodward , and Jameis Winston . The Buster Posey National Collegiate Catcher of the Year Award , presented annually to the top catcher in college baseball , is named for Florida State hall of famer Buster Posey . Former head coach Mike Martin is the winningest coach in the history of college baseball . The Seminoles play their home games on campus at Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium on the university 's Tallahassee , Florida campus . Mike Martin Jr. is the current head coach .
First base , or 1B , is the first of four stations on a baseball diamond which must be touched in succession by a baserunner to score a run for that player 's team . A first baseman is the player on the team playing defense who fields the area nearest first base , and is responsible for the majority of plays made at that base . In the numbering system used to record defensive plays , the first baseman is assigned the number 3 . Also called first sacker or cornerman , the first baseman is ideally a tall player who throws left-handed and possesses good flexibility and quick reflexes . Flexibility is needed because the first baseman receives throws from the other infielders , the catcher and the pitcher after they have fielded ground balls . In order for the runner to be called out , the first baseman must be able to stretch towards the throw and catch it before the runner reaches first base . First base is often referred to as the other hot corner - the hot corner being third base - and therefore , like the third baseman , he must have quick reflexes to field the hardest hit balls down the foul line , mainly by left-handed pull hitters and right-handed hitters hitting to the opposite field . They often are power hitters who have a substantial number of home runs and extra base hits while maintaining a .270 plus batting average . [ citation needed ]
Douglas Randall Schwartz ( born February 9 , 1944 in Los Angeles ) is a retired American professional baseball player who appeared in 16 games played in the Major Leagues as a first baseman and pinch hitter for the 1965-1966 Kansas City Athletics . He threw and batted left-handed , stood 6 feet 3 inches ( 1.91 m ) tall and weighed 230 pounds ( 100 kg ) . Schwartz was signed by the A 's after a standout career at the UCLA , where he was a 1964 first-team College Baseball All-America Team selection . He played three full years of minor league baseball , from 1965-67 , and hit 29 and 22 home runs in his first two seasons , with an OPS of 1.018 in his rookie year in the Class A Midwest League . In his two late-season MLB trials , Schwartz recorded three hits , all singles , in 18 at bats .
The UCLA Bruins baseball team is the varsity college baseball team of the University of California , Los Angeles . Having started playing in 1920 , the program is a member of the NCAA Division I Pac-12 Conference . It plays its home games at Jackie Robinson Stadium . The program has appeared in five College World Series and won the 2013 National Championship .
In baseball and softball , second baseman is a fielding position in the infield , between second and first base . The second baseman often possesses quick hands and feet , needs the ability to get rid of the ball quickly , and must be able to make the pivot on a double play . In addition , second basemen are usually right-handed ; only four left-handed throwing players have ever played second base in Major League Baseball since 1950 . In the numbering system used to record defensive plays , the second baseman is assigned the number 4 . Good second basemen need to have very good range since they have to field balls closer to the first baseman who is often holding runners on , or moving towards the base to cover . On a batted ball to right field , the second baseman goes out towards the ball for the relay . Due to these requirements , second base is sometimes a primarily defensive position in the modern game , but there are hitting stars as well .
California State University , Los Angeles ( Cal State LA ) is a public university in Los Angeles , California . It is part of the 23-campus California State University ( CSU ) system .

The Early Entrance Program ( EEP ) in the Honors College for gifted students as young as 11 is the only one of its kind in the United States in promoting a direct transitional scheme from middle and high school to college without intermediary remedial education . Cal State LA is a Hispanic-serving institution .
A third baseman , abbreviated 3B , is the player in baseball whose responsibility is to defend the area nearest to third base - the third of four bases a baserunner must touch in succession to score a run . In the scoring system used to record defensive plays , the third baseman is assigned the number ' 5 ' . The third baseman requires good reflexes in reacting to batted balls , as he is often the closest infielder ( roughly 90-120 feet ) to the batter . The third base position requires a strong and accurate arm , as the third baseman often makes long throws to first base . The third baseman sometimes must throw quickly to second base in time to start a double play . The third baseman must also field fly balls in fair and foul territory . Third base is known as the hot corner , because the third baseman is relatively close to the batter and most right-handed hitters tend to hit the ball hard in this direction . A third baseman must possess good hand-eye coordination and quick reactions in order to catch hard line drives sometimes in excess of 125 miles per hour ( 201 km/h ) . Third basemen often must begin in a position even closer to the batter if a bunt is expected , creating a hazard if the ball is instead hit sharply . As with middle infielders , right-handed throwing players are standard at the position because they do not need to turn their body before throwing across the infield to first base . Mike Squires , who played fourteen games at third base in 1982 and 1983 , is a very rare example of a third baseman who threw lefty . Some third basemen have been converted from middle infielders or outfielders because the position does not require them to run as fast .
Shortstop , abbreviated SS , is the baseball or softball fielding position between second and third base , which is considered to be among the most demanding defensive positions . Historically the position was assigned to defensive specialists who were typically poor at batting and were often placed at the bottom of the batting order . Today shortstops are often able to hit well and many are placed at the top of the lineup . In the numbering system used by scorers to record defensive plays , the shortstop is assigned the number 6 . More hit balls go to the shortstop than to any other position , as there are more right-handed hitters in baseball than left-handed hitters , and most hitters have a tendency to pull the ball slightly . Like a second baseman , a shortstop must be agile , for example when performing a 4-6-3 double play . Also , like a third baseman , the shortstop fields balls hit to the left side of the infield , where a strong arm is needed to throw out a batter-runner before they reach the safety of first base .
Donald Eulon Kessinger ( born July 17 , 1942 in Forrest City , Arkansas ) is an American former professional baseball player and manager . He played in Major League Baseball as a shortstop from 1964 to 1979 for the Chicago Cubs , St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago White Sox . A six-time All-Star , he was a light-hitting , defensive specialist who spent the majority of his career as the Chicago Cubs starting shortstop . In the late 1960s and early 1970s , he was considered one of the best shortstops in baseball . Kessinger is also notable for being the last player-manager in American League history .
The Ole Miss Rebels baseball team represents the University of Mississippi in NCAA Division I college baseball . The team participates in the West Division of the Southeastern Conference ( SEC ) . They are currently coached by Mike Bianco .
An outfielder is a person playing in one of the three defensive positions in baseball or softball , farthest from the batter . These defenders are the left fielder , the center fielder , and the right fielder . As an outfielder , their duty is to catch fly balls and/ ground balls then to return them to the infield for the out or before the runner advances , if there is any runners on the bases . As an outfielder , they normally play behind the six players located in the field . By convention , each of the nine defensive positions in baseball is numbered . The outfield positions are 7 ( left field ) , 8 ( center field ) and 9 ( right field ) . These numbers are shorthand designations useful in baseball scorekeeping and are not necessarily the same as the squad numbers worn on player uniforms . Outfielders named to the MLB All-Century Team are Hank Aaron , Ty Cobb , Joe DiMaggio , Mickey Mantle , Willie Mays , Stan Musial , Pete Rose , Babe Ruth , Ted Williams and Ken Griffey Jr .
Frederic Carl Reichardt ( born March 16 , 1943 ) is a Major League outfielder for the Los Angeles Angels/California Angels ( 1964-70 ) , Washington Senators ( 1970 ) , Chicago White Sox ( 1971-73 ) and Kansas City Royals ( 1973-74 ) . He batted and threw right-handed . Reichardt was a spectacular two-sport star at the University of Wisconsin , twice leading the Big 10 in batting , and starring as a fullback on the 1962 # 2 ranked Badgers Rose Bowl team , which was defeated in the 1963 Rose Bowl by # 1 ranked USC in the comeback that never was where the Badgers scored 23 points in the last 12 minutes , but still lost by 5 points ( 42 to 37 ) . His athletic prowess was highly rated by all Major League Baseball scouts , and when a bidding war ensued for his signing , he received a $ 200,000 ( $ 1,670,217 today ) signing bonus from the Los Angeles Angels , a record for that time . It was the bidding war for Reichardt that ultimately led Major League Baseball to institute a draft , which started in 1965 , with Rick Monday being the first ever # 1 overall selection ( he was drafted by the Kansas City Athletics ) . In 1966 , Reichardt became the first player to hit a home run at Anaheim Stadium . Later that season , after batting .288 with 16 home runs and 44 RBI through just 89 games , he was diagnosed with a kidney ailment that necessitated the removal of the kidney . Although he recovered to hit .265 with 17 home runs in 1967 , and .255 with 21 home runs in 1968 , he was never quite the same after the operation . After hitting only 13 home runs in 1969 , he was traded with Aurelio Rodríguez to the Washington Senators early in the 1970 season for 3rd baseman Ken McMullen . After a trade to the White Sox in 1971 , he managed to hit .278 with 19 homers . From there , age and injuries took their toll and he never again attained double figures in home runs in a season . He retired after 1 at-bat in the 1974 season .

Earl Wayne Billy Scripture ( November 20 , 1941 - November 11 , 2018 ) was an American outfielder , third baseman , manager and instructor in professional baseball . Born in Pensacola , Florida , he was an All-America baseball standout at Wake Forest University , Scripture threw and batted right-handed , stood 5 feet 11 inches ( 1.8 m ) tall and weighed 190 pounds ( 86 kg ) in his playing days . Scripture signed with the Baltimore Orioles after his matriculation from Wake Forest , but never reached the Major League Baseball level . He batted .252 in 891 games over nine seasons ( 1964-1972 ) in the Baltimore and New York Mets farm systems , with 58 home runs . His last five seasons as an active player were spent at the Triple-A level with the Rochester Red Wings and Tidewater Tides . Scripture then became a minor league manager and instructor in the Kansas City Royals and Pittsburgh Pirates systems , peaking at the Double-A level and having only one winning season in five years as a skipper . However , Scripture earned a reputation throughout professional baseball for his intensity , dedication to teaching , and his toughness . The most quoted stories about Scripture described his habit of biting the covers off baseballs when frustrated . Only lost one molar so far , Scripture said in 1975 , and that 's a whole lot less expensive than an ulcer operation . He was tough , maybe the toughest I 've ever seen , then-Royals athletic trainer Mickey Cobb told Sports Illustrated for a 1987 profile on Scripture . I remember a time when he had 19 blisters on one hand from hitting . He just came in and poured alcohol on it .
