"FIELDING THE BALL - infield only
Hands- the glove hand is positioned front of the glove foot...
Waist/Body - as the fielder reaches the ball, the bellybutton stays
slightly to the glove hand side of the ball. Except on hard hit grounders,
the fielder takes a curved route or "banana route" to the ball. This route
begins with a cross-over step in the direction of the ball. As the ball is
caught, the fielder ends the route with yet another cross-over step and a plant
of the throwing foot in preparation for the throw.... Feet - wider
than the shoulders with the glove side foot positioned slightly ahead of the
throwing side foot. "
