	Left fielder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A left fielder, abbreviated LF, is an outfielder in the sport of baseball who plays defense in left field.
		Left field is the area of the outfield to the left of a person standing at home plate and facing towards the pitcher's mound.
		The left fielder still requires good fielding and catching skills, and tends to receive more balls than the right fielder due to the fact that right-handed hitters, who are much more common, tend to "pull" the ball into left field.
	en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Left_fielder (394 words)

	Right fielder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Of all outfield positions, the right fielder should have the strongest arm, because they are the farthest from third base.
		The right fielder tends to be a stronger offensive player than defensive, as right-handed batters tend to pull the ball to left field.
		As well as the requirements above, the right fielder backs up first base on all throws from the catcher and pitcher, and all bunted balls, since the catcher or the first baseman must be available for fielding the ball.

	Running around and fielding the ball (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The right fielder should be an experienced outfielder due to the nature of the balls hit to his position, mainly the line drives hit by righthanded hitters that will have a tendency to slice toward the right field line.
		Another example would be the case where the center fielder has great speed, which would allow the left fielder and right fielder to shade a little closer to their respective foul line.
		His arm strength, ability to go left and right, ability to come in on the ball, ability to go back on the ball, are all taken into consideration by the outfielder in deciding where to position the hitter at the plate.

	Outfield - Communication
		When the ball is in the air the center fielder has authority over every other fielder on the field with the left and right fielders next.
		If you're the left fielder and you're running towards the ball in the left field gap, you want to make sure you make a call for the ball as soon as you're comfortable that you can make an easy catch.
		If on the other hand he gets a confirmation back from the center fielder, "You got it" or "Yours", then he can be confident that he is going to field the ball without risk of colliding with the center fielder.

		Right fielder - The right fielder should preferably be a left-handed thrower so that he can better cover and release the ball that is hit down the right field line.

		With the exception of a privileged few, like Barry Bonds, left fielders are always thought of as these massive clods who can't play any other position.
		Several AL left fielders were better, but Winfield had the reputation that he brought with him from right field.
		Multiply that by 140 to 160 games that a regular left fielder will play each year compared to the 35 starts a pitcher gets and we find that a left fielder will handle the ball about 250-275 more times per year than a pitcher.

	Tips On Running A Baseball Tryout by Coach Joseph Pero
		I would take a guy who is a below average hitter and an above average fielder rather than a good hitter and a poor fielder (you just run out of places to hide them on defense, especially if you have more than one of this type of player).
		If he can't cover the whole left side of the infield, than he should be a 2nd baseman.
		Left Fielder- Should be able to charge in very well because he needs to play deeper than most of your outfielders due to so many right-handed pull hitters.

	Sons of Sam Horn -> Manny Ramirez: Average Left Fielder?
		From: San Diego, CA David Pinto recently posted his Probabilistic Model of Range figures for 2005 Left Fielders, and lo and behold, Manny is not only not rated as far and away the worst left fielder, but he's not even at the bottom of the list.
		This isn't to say Manny isn't a poor left fielder, which he sure looks like, but I've been curious as to what he would look like if you teased out the 81 Fenway games.
		I don't know if Fenway increases or decreases the number of plays a left fielder has to make coming in on the ball but those are the ones at which he seems least adept.
