What was Smith's defensive position?

  • Pitcher

  • Catcher

  • Outfielder

  • Shortstop

Answer

Smith's defensive position was shortstop, a key defensive position in baseball, requiring agility, quick reflexes, and excellent hand-eye coordination. Typically positioned behind the second baseman and in front of the center fielder, the shortstop is responsible for fielding ground balls and making accurate throws to first base. They also cover second base on throws from the catcher during double plays and provide infield support on plays at home plate.
