Second baseman

In baseball and softball, second baseman, abbreviated 2B, is a fielding position in the infield, between second and first base.

In addition, second basemen are usually right-handed; only four left-handed throwing players have ever played second base in Major League Baseball since 1950.

Due to these requirements, second base is sometimes a primarily defensive position in the modern game, but there are hitting stars as well.

This is due to its position on the infield at the top of the diamond, similar to the keystone block in architecture.

The following second basemen have been elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum:[3] Source: baseball-reference.com[Link to precise page]
