I played 3B for about 5 game my Jr. year in HS and wasn't a fan. Of course it was after I tore my ACL and before I had surgery so I had my leg taped all the way up to my groin so I am sure that didn't help.. :p

Best player I watched in person was at 3rd. SS did not matter, she shut down the entire left side of the field. Boy she was good. Still do like it though.

Ohhh geeeez just back up. :)

No bunting/slap/hit or base stealing in that.
I used to play SS against a couple of the monsters here in my area that competed in those HR derbies in places like the Astrodome, these are big boys who hit softballs out of MLB stadiums, scary hard hit balls! This was before these guys got famous, got big bat sponsors, and went on those HR tours!

I‘d play 30 or 40 feet in the grass in short field, might as well have been an outfielder! In the rare case they didn’t hit the ball 200’ over the fence, or there was a HR limit which resulted in an out, and they‘d hit a ball to me........you could throw them out at 1B before before they hardly left the box!

No way on God‘s big blue ball would I ever pitch to those guys, that’s a death wish! And playing 3B at that level, those guys would break bones in a fielders glove hand!

It's the beer league version of a game for kids and/or athletes. You can get the out from LF.

Lol...no. Believe it or not, there's something more than "beer league". I'm not even that fast, and you won't get me from deep 3B unless you field it cleanly. You won't get anyone from "LF" unless they fall down.
