    Easiest Position In Baseball

    All positions are equally hard! There is not "easiest position"!

    But if I had to choose, I think 1st Base is the easiest! You don't have to move around, run, throw as much as everyone else!

    Good Question!

    Third base is one of the hardest positions to play, hence the name the "hot corner." LF is also difficult especially at hs levels because most batters are right handed and will pull the ball. 1B is difficult because they have to do something pretty much every play. There are no "easy" positions, but the easiest is RF. Whole games can be played with the RF not even touching the baseball.

    Anyone who ever saw Russ Davis play knows that neither 3rd base nor left field are easy positions...or at least they certainly weren't for Russ.

    To play at the major league level, all position are difficult. If you are just playing pickup baseball...the weakest player usually goes to right field because inexperienced players hit there less frequently. In slo-pitch, catcher is usually the easiest in leagues where there is no stealing or bunting.

    I hate to break it to you, there is no easy position in baseball. It also depends on who you ask. For me the outfield is difficult for me because I'm not fast, not good at tracking fly balls, and cannot throw far enough. Other people think the infield is more difficult because its faster moving, quicker thinking, footwork. The hardest two are definitely catcher and pitcher. It just depends on where you spend most of your practice. My dad and grandfather both played infield and would help me practice infield drills because that's what they knew about. It really depends on a lot of things.

    No position is easy...I guess the easiest might be 1st base but even that position can be tough if you don't have a great glove...

    There's no such thing as an "easy" position to field, but first base is the easiest. 3rd base? Not even close.

    to be honest I think DH is the easiest. Sure it requires you to be a decent hitter but think about what you do. You hang out in the dugout until it's your turn to hit and then you go do your job and then come back and hang out some more!

    Source(s): I was a DH for my high school team this year...it's extremely awesome!

    Bat Boy....I don't think there is an easy position. All of them require a good arm. First base you don't have to throw alot. But you need height and to have good range.

    Right field, because you don't get as many balls hit to you as other positions, because there are more right handed batters than lefthanded.
