outfielder

Warning track patroller

An outfielder is a baseball or softball player who fields in the outfield—the grassy area beyond the infield dirt.

The three outfield positions are left field, center field, and right field.

Outfielders track fly balls, back up throws, and relay the ball to the infield: The outfielder made a diving catch at the warning track.
