right fielders

Far-side grass patrollers

Right fielders are baseball or softball players who defend the right field position, the outfield area to the right of center field when viewed from home plate.

The position typically demands a strong throwing arm since right fielders must make the longest throw to third base.

In batting lineups, right fielders historically have been power hitters, though the position's offensive expectations vary by era and team philosophy.
