fielder's

Belongs to catcher

Fielder's is the possessive form of fielder, a player positioned in the field to catch or retrieve the ball in baseball, cricket, and similar sports.

It appears most often in fielder's choice, a baseball play where a fielder opts to put out a baserunner rather than the batter, allowing the batter to reach base.
