I put my best guy for average 3 and the biggest hr threat 4. I try to find someone almost as strong as 4 to put in the 5 so they don't pitch around him.Is this the beginning of The End?
you usually put your slugger at 4, for clean up. You always would like your 1 to be someone that can get on base and have some speed so he can maybe steal and get in scoring position. Thats how I look at it. Also, your worst hitter should be 8 not 9!My friend, Satan, joined our softball team. What posistion should he play?
3 and 4....Great African-Americans baseball player?
I think there would be more emphasis if you put them in the 3-4 slot because there is a greater possibility of a bigger inning and my 3rd best hitter I would put 5th.Are Plaza infield seats at a baseball game bad?Can you see well ,is it good ,bad or what?
Your best pure hitter bats 3rd, and your power guys bats 4th.In the MLB, is it more of an achievement to get into the Hall of Fame or the All star game?
1. want to be a fast leadoff2. contact hitter (preferably left handed---so your leadoff hitter can reach third when he pulls the ball to right field)
3 and 4 should be able to clean them up. I think it is a waste to put your 2nd best hitter at the 5 spot.

Many people do 3 & 4, but best hitters doesn't describe it. enough There are so many considerations that come into effect when making a lineup. These include power, OBP, batting average, run scoring ability, rbi, sb abilities, speed, baseball IQ, amount of time players strikeouts, and a key one for lead-off hitters is # of pitches seen per at bat, etc.. So usually 3, 4 but it all depends on the lineupWill Ryan howard and chase utley come out of their early season slumps after yesterdays HRs.?

You want your 2 best hitters hitting 3-4,that way you can jump on the other team in the first inningIn a traditional lineup, your two best hitters are going to hit 3 & 4. As others have stated, you want your best overall hitter in the 3 spot, thereby guaranteeing them an at-bat in the first inning. The 4 spot is for your best power hitter, ensuring that if anyone gets on base (and isn't doubled off), they'll come up, thereby maximizing the impact of an extra base hit.
There are exceptions to the 3/4 slotting, however.
If your best overall hitter is exceptionally fast and not particularly powerful, such as in the case of Ichiro and the Seattle Mariners, you're probably going to put them in the lead off or 2 spot to take advantage of their speed.
In weaker lineups, when the best hitter is a LOT better then every other batter (Bonds in SF or Vlad in LA last year), teams will sometimes put an average hitter in the 3 spot, hoping that they'll see better pitches in front of the best overall hitter.
In the rare case that a great hitter is both powerful AND fast, you sometimes see teams place them in the 2 spot, (Carlos Beltran when he was still on the Royals, and Alex Rodriguez in 2005)
I can not get L.A.angels in my 'scoreboard.WHY?
I would put my best hitter 3. Best power guy 4th, but if you are asking where I put the 2 best hitters? That would be 2nd and 3rd.My leadoff would be able to get on base. take a few pitches and such. 2nd would be a great contact guy and gets lots of hits. I think of Ichiro as a better #2 than a leadoff due to the lack of walks. The guy can hit and gets a lot of them. Best all around hitter (ie. Pujols) would be 3rd. Low strikeouts, contact and power. Then someone who can hit it hard would be 4th with another tough out batting 5th.
How did the red sox yankee rivalry start?
Over the years there have been some valid theories. The way that makes the most sense to me is:Leadoff: Best on base percentage guy that can run.
2. Best hit-and-run guy. Contact hitter. Can hit to Right Field.
Now assuming the next three guys have home run power,
3. Best average, power to right field. Man at first could score on a double.
4. Best slugging percentage.
5. The best option left to force them to pitch to cleanup hitter.
It's a bonus if you can have at least one switch-hitter in there.
