shortstop

The kid, as it turns out, plays a pretty mean shortstop.

The play would be difficult enough for a lifelong shortstop.

This year, with Betts at shortstop and the Dodgers declining to add a right fielder at the trade deadline, Hernández has played right field all season.

There was the defensive switch to shortstop, which occupied much of his focus as he learned a new position on the go.

After Austin Hays bounced a grounder to Betts that the shortstop threw home for a forceout, Yamamoto slammed the door with back-to-back strikeouts.
