I think during fielding and striking I was best at being outfield because I have improved on catching the ball when it comes toward or near me. The hardest position would probably be being at a base, because you have to think really fast on who and where and when to get someone out.

I think i performed best at 2nd base because i was good at catching. I think the most challenging position was pitcher because it was hard for me to pitch a good underhand pitch. I think i have good reactions so i was good at 2nd baseman.

Playing kickball I stayed in the outfield to play because all i needed to do was get the ball quickly to a base with a runner or to simply just catch a ball. Most of my kicks were light and precise so I can use speed to get a a base.
Playing softball was like kickball because of the rules, but unlike kickball we hit the ball with a bat. I liked hitting the ball and was good at getting hits. In the outfield i would play shortstop because if the ball came to me I would scoop it up and throw it to one of my teammates to get an opponent out.
In both sports I thought that being the pitcher was hard. I don't have very good handeye coordination so that wouldnt be my job.

I believe I preformed the best at 3rd base because that was the position I played most and I am most comfortable with it. I think pitcher is most challanging because it's harded to throw a ball underhand to a specfic spot. I think my ability to catch and throw made me good for 3rd base and not for pitcher

I feel that I performed the best as catcher because i knew the requirements of that position best. Being in outfield is most challenging for me because I can not throw very far. I can catch the ball, so I can get people coming into home base out.

I feel I performed best at short stop. I feel this way because I feel that I appropriately assisted second base and third base. I could run out to help out field when the the ball was hit or kicked out there. The most challenging position was out field because I don't like to run for the ball then throw it to the base men or other players. I can throw the ball to basemen and I am able to move to get the ball and play efficiently.

I feel that I performed the best as a pitcher because i'm good at catching and throwing and also I think pitcher is most challanging because you have to throw the ball to specific spot and catch the ball quickly.

I felt better as a catcher because all I have to do is catch the ball and throw it to the base. Hitting the ball in softball was challenging to me, because I'm not used to hit the ball with the bat. I played with no problem in kickball, but I only had problem hitting the ball in softball.

I think during the fielding and striking unit, I performed best at first base, because my reaction time is really fast, and my hand and eye coordination skill is really good. The hardest position for me to play is pitcher, because i cant throw a good underhanded pitch. My team picked me to be the 1st base men, because i can catch the ball really good, and I have a really good hand and eye coordination

I think for our fielding units such as kickball my best position was pitcher. The reason for this is because i am good at pitching the ball and also i am good at caching fly balls. The hardest position i feel is probably 2nd base because if you catch the ball and you get someone out at second you also have to think if someone is running to first and then you can try and get them out also and make a double play.

I think that I was best at 3rd base because that was where i played the most and i was most comfortable there. Also, I am good at throwing and catching, so 3rd base fit me the best. I think that pitcher was the hardest position because it was hard to throw a good underhand pitch.

i think i performed best at pitcher during kickball. i was able to catch the ball easily when it came right to me and i could throw a pretty good pitch. i was able to kick the ball very far at most times and run to the bases quickly. during softball i performed best at outfield. i was able to easily catch a ball on the fly and quickly get it to a baseman. Although i was good at the outfield, i wasnt able to hit the ball with a bat very well, so ill need to work on that.

i think i was best at first base because all i really needed to do was catch the ball and i can do that. i think pitching was the hardest position because you have to throw or roll a good pitch but not too easy

Sandra Kuo said...

During fielding and striking I was best at being outfield because when the ball is kicked high enough, there is time for me to see where the ball is going so i can reach for the ball with precision. The position that was the most challenging would be being at the base because you have to have the ability to catch the ball quick enough in order to tag the person out. One of my physical attributes I possess is to run fast so I can win the team a point.

Kyle MacIntyre said...

During the fielding and striking unit i think the best position i played was outfield. I am fast at running and have good hands to catch all the balls that came in my radius. The one position where i dint think i played well at was catcher. The catcher has no use in the play besides a play at the plate.

during softball and kickball i think i was best at outfield because i was really good at staying in position and catching the ball. I think it would be really difficult to be the pitcher because im not that good at throwing underhand.

Hannah Park said...

I think during fielding and striking i was best at outfield as my position because that was the one postition i was comfortable with. I also tried my hardest to catch the ball. I think all the bases were challenging because i wasn't very fast at catching the ball and throwing it back to short stop or any of the other bases. I can always throw the ball but running after it was hard because you had to be very fast.

I feel that i performed best as a 3rd base men because that is the position that i have mostly played. Also i am able to catch the pop flies that come naer me and the passes i get from my teammates. Being an outfielder was the most challenging because it was hard to see the ball when it was so high and the sun was in my eyes. Also i couldn't time my catches so sometimes it would fall out. I have a good reaction, and i am able to sprint to the ball when thrown to me inorder to catch the runner.

Cari Baxtrom,
I feel I preformed best during field and striking as an out-fielder because I knew that if the ball was coming in my direction, I had time to get to where it was going to land then catch it. A mid-fielder was the most challenging position for me because thats where the ball had tended to go after it was kicked. Some physical attribute I have that make me best at this are that I am alert in my mind that the ball is coming in my direction and that I can run after the ball if it goes over my head.

Will Billingsley,
I did best as pitcher becuase I hate baseball/softball/kickball and it is the easiest position to understand. The hardest is being at 2nd base, u have to choose where to throw it or if to throw it at all.

I feel that I performed best at short stop for the fielding and striking unit. I am good at catching the ball and I have a good sense on what to do with it after I catch it. I would be worst at pitcher because it was slow pitch softball and I wouldn't be able to throw accurately. I have good reflexes and am fast so I am good at short-stop, I also have a good arm.

During the fielding and striking unit I felt that I performed best at short stop because in both kickball and softball I am good at catching and I have a good arm. I feel I would be worst at pitcher because I wouldn't be able to pitch accurately with slow-pitch softball. I am fast and have good reflexes so I am good at short stop.

Daniel Choi said...

During the fielding and striking I thought that I was best fit for 2nd baseman, because i was able to catch the short balls that flew towards me and quickly throw it to 1st, 2nd, or 3rd base to maybe get a double out. i think my ability to catch the ball helped me be a good 2nd baseman. The most challenging position for me was probably catcher because i don't like to just stand/sit at a place and do the same thing again and again. i would rather be active and running.

Ashley Foster said...

I think i performed best at 3rd base because the position required me to stay fully aware, catch the ball, and get players out, but there was a balance because the focus was less often on that base opposed to others.I think the hardest position is pitcher becuase both teams relied on you to make a good pitch and you are somewhat isolated from your teamates so many of the balls were only your job to catch. One of my physical attributes I possess is that I was efficient and had good hand-eye coordination.

Alex Hahn said...

The best position for me was outfeild because when your in the outfield you have to run alot to get balls since you have to cover a greater range. The most challenging for me was a base because you would have to be good at picking up ground balls and im not very good at that.

I think during fielding and striking i was best at catcher because I could easily get the ball and I didn't have to move around much. It was most difficult for me to play in the outfield the first day, because when people were behind me, I didn't know if they were gonna get the ball or if they were counting on me to get it.

Robert Xu said...

I think I was best at second base because it was easier for me to catch and be able to tag the person. However, it was easier in softball and wiffleball than in kickball. The most challenging one is outfield. Since you don't really know where it's aimed for, and i'm not good at catching, i did a poor job. I think it's because I have a slow reaction. Being on 2nd base allows me a split second to become aware.

I did best as 2nd base person because i can catch good and so if someone is on first and running to second i can catch it but still have my foot on the base. i think the hardest position would be outfield because it is such a big amount of area to have to find the ball and catch it.

I think for our fielding units such as kickball my best position was first base. The reason for this is because i am good at catching the ball and also i am good at caching fly balls. The hardest position i feel is probably Pitcher because you are in every play of the game and always have to be ready.

I performed the best in the outfield in between first and second base because i was able to stand far away where most balls were hit and people were unable to catch it. the position that was most difficult for me would be 3rd base because sometimes i wouldn't be quick enough to catch the ball and tag the person before he/she makes a home run. i think i run really fast so I'm best in the outfield when someone hits the ball really far away.
