"FIELDING THE BALL - infield only
Hands- the glove hand is positioned front of the glove
foot... Waist/Body - as the fielder reaches the ball, the
bellybutton stays slightly to the glove hand side of the ball.
Except on hard hit grounders, the fielder takes a curved route or
"banana route" to the ball. This route begins with a cross-over
step in the direction of the ball. As the ball is caught, the
fielder ends the route with yet another cross-over step and a plant
of the throwing foot in preparation for the throw.... Feet
- wider than the shoulders with the glove side foot positioned
slightly ahead of the throwing side foot. "
