	Outfielder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Outfielder is a collective term including left fielder, center fielder, and right fielder, the three positions in baseball farthest from the batter.
		Outfielders are primarily engaged in attempting to catch long fly balls.
		Most of the biggest power hitters in baseball played in the outfield, where they do not have as constant involvement in fielding plays as other positions, especially before the institution of the designated hitter.

	The Complete OUTFIELDER
		Your outfielders have a lot of ground to cover, and as a coach, you need to know what qualities each of your three outfielders should have.
		The outfielder should charge the ball, slowing down as he nears it so that he can field the ball out in front off his front toe with the glove hand.
		An outfielder should turn to his strong side on this ball, whether it is to his right or left.

	Science & Technology at Scientific American.com: Baseball Bat Cracks and Clunks Tell Outfielder Where to Go
		To visually determine how far the ball will fly, the outfielder must wait about two seconds after the ball is hit before the angle at which the ball rises—an indicator of the distance it will travel—becomes apparent, Adair says.
		The clunk is a combination of the crack and the duller 170-Hertz-sound created by a vibration in the bat that occurs when bat and ball make contact far away from the bat's so-called sweet spot.
		In that time span, he notes, the outfielder can run more than 50 feet—easily the difference between catching the ball and watching it hit the grass.
