ball-playing
Tossing spheres around
Ball-playing is participating in games involving balls—baseball, basketball, soccer, and the like.
The term appears most often as a modifier: a ball-playing shortstop, ball-playing skills.
In baseball specifically, it can distinguish fielding ability from hitting: He's known for his ball-playing more than his bat.
