second basemen

Double-play pivot men

Second basemen is the plural of second baseman—the defensive player positioned between first and second base in baseball or softball.

Second basemen typically cover second base on steal attempts, turn double plays, and field ground balls hit to the right side of the infield: The team's second basemen this season have been solid defensively but weak at the plate.
