Stop-short

With baseball, a stop-short ( AC ) ( shortstop in English, term also used in Europe) is a player placed between the Second goal and the Third goal. Dynamic position because of the great number of players Droitier S, the stop-courts must cover the second goal in situations of double game. They often prevent their adversaries from making a stolen But. On the occasion, they must cover the third goal to prevent a Amorti.

The stop-short occupies the same position on the ground as the player of second goal except that it is between the second and the third goal. The stop-courts are not always selected for the quality of striking, because the position is very difficult. The players must be fast to arrive the ball and to launch well because they are relatively far from the first goal. Nowadays, certain stop-courts are very good strikers, for example Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter Jose Reyes. Because they are fast, they can record a high number of stolen goals.
