As I realized at about the age of 10, the fielder will guide you to the ball.

What brought me to this revelation at such a young age? Going to pro baseball games and hearing the crowd "oooohh!" and "aaaahh!" at the big swing and loud crack of the bat only to see the infielder set up under and catch the pop-up.

[mini rant]This is also why I am not a big fan of those who insist it is necessary to watch the ball at all costs. Who cares that an umpire takes his/her eyes off a bounding ball in the outfield to monitor runners and infielders doing what they do?[/mini rant]
