They can save a lot of injuries to the people in the stands. My dad used to play pro ball for a few teams, the Twins being one of them and he said it wasn't uncommon to see a lot of people get hurt by foul balls. The tv cameras used to shy away from showing that back then as well. You saw the ball fly into the stands and maybe hit someone but then you didn't see the aftermath as they had to be taken away bleeding profusely from the face.

Watch a Women's College World Series game and watch how close the third base plays and how fast she will react. The base is 60 feet from the Plate and they usually setup 3-5 feet closer to the plate. 1st Base plays similarly. and the pitcher is only 45 ft away.
@GhostRider-sc9vu2 роки тому
@TheSportsGuru I played Men's slow-pitch including third till that age or near it. However the ball is bigger not as hard and having less assistance from the pitcher in increasing its speed, but 60 ft is still very close to the plate. I always admired the courage of the third base women who would play at normal depth when former Arizona batter Jessie Harper was up. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/rJqBhqGtqJ2Uu30.html Actually was watching that game when she hit that ball.

@MattRowland2 роки тому
What if every play in bounds is simply a regular, non-highlight play? I think most people have no clue how much they take for granted catching a simple fly ball. I played baseball competitively until I was 17 and, having an opportunity to do a simple pop fly challenge at Kauffman Stadium back in 2001, tracking a fly ball in a triple deck stadium is not easy, and I felt fortunate to have caught 2 out of 3. Big league players make it look simple.

Great catches! You guys have to check out the best catches in cricket where they catch the ball which is just as hard as a baseball with their bare hands! Also for those who don't understand the sport, there is a boundary rope encircling the entire ground. Unlike baseball, if the fielder has any part of his body touching or beyond the rope, not only is the batsman 'not out' but also gets six runs. How fielders manage to catch balls right at the edge or even at times in the air of the boundary rope is phenomenal and definitely a sight to behold!
