Hello all,I was just wondering what you think is the toughest/hardest position to play at the highschool level and why?

Catcher, hands down

All teams need good pitchers. But without a really good catcher (difficult position to master), the pitchers will appear mediocre.

Agree - Catcher!

Play it a couple times and it will become self evident!

Catcher.

Real simple. Catchers normally get screwed and are expected to be able to do everything even though the coach provides them no time to practice those skills.

The catcher is the leader on the field. He sees everything on the field; the only other position that could possibly come close to seeing it all is the centerfielder.

Hitter.....usually fail more than 70% of the time

Third base is a pretty tough position also.

every position is tough if you are working at it to be the best

There are no easy positions in baseball

Catcher is the most physically demanding no doubt, but I believe shortstop take the most overall skill. Both are leaders in different ways.

I would agree all are important and difficult.

A catcher is to a pitcher as a first baseman is to infielders. A catcher and first baseman that are strong in their position can make the pitchers and infielders look good.
