second baseman

Both he and the second-baseman must field ground balls cleanly and are often called upon to catch fly balls also.

And that frog-legged second-baseman—oh, say, can't he cover ground!

The second-baseman darted over, fielded the ball cleanly, and threw Prince out.

He showed that he possessed the three essentials of a good second-baseman: coolness, quickness, and judgment.

Then he saw the second-baseman muff the ball and saw Dan Baxter start for it, and he tore towards home.
