FIELDER Meaning and
Definition
-
A fielder is a player in the sport of baseball or cricket who primarily focuses on defending and preventing the opposition team from scoring runs or advancing bases. In baseball, a fielder is responsible for catching balls hit by batters and throwing them accurately to the appropriate base to get a runner out. They also play a critical role in executing strategies to prevent the opposing team from scoring runs. Additionally, a fielder may cover specific areas of the field designated by their position, such as an outfielder guarding the outer part of the playing area or an infielder positioned closer to the bases.
Similarly, in cricket, a fielder has the objective of stopping the batsmen from scoring runs by catching or stopping balls hit by the opponents and rapidly returning them to the pitch. Fielders work together as a team to restrict the number of runs scored and, at times, attempt to dismiss a batsman by catching the ball before it touches the ground, known as a catching dismissal. This adds an extra layer of strategy as each fielder must be attentive and agile. Fielders may also have specific positions such as slip, cover, or long-on, depending on the tactics employed by their team. A fielder's speed, agility, anticipation, and ability to react swiftly in diverse situations are critical skills for success.
