Outfielders should have a very strong arm because they have to make sucj large throughs they also have to be very fast to chase down balls.
Infielders
The infielder job is to keep ball from going threw to the outfield and to make quick plays to get players out at bases. To get someon eout at a base you have to get the ball to the base before the runner gets to it. The pitchers job is kiund of obviouse they pitch. The softball pitch is very different from the base ball pitch it is thrown under have with a windmill like motion. The catcher catches the pitchers pitches.
