A team should let its best hitters and runners bat first, because they will get to bat more often during a game. Here are some tips for a strong batting order.

First Batter - Usually small and fast with a good eye. This is an excellent spot for a left handier
Second Batter - A good bunter and fast runner.
Third batter - Best hitter, he hits the ball often.
Fourth Batter - Good hitter with men on base.
Fifth batter - Long ball hitter, aggressive hitter.
Sixth batter - Fairly good hitter with speed.
Seventh Batter - Fairly good hitter.
Eighth Batter - An inexperienced player with promise.
Ninth Batter - A good fielder.

A baseball team must be strong down the middle. That means it must have a good pitcher, catcher, shortstop, second baseman, and center fielder. Next in order come the first baseman, third baseman, left fielder, and right fielder.
