I am assuming that this is slow pitch. In this case your base positioning is rather simple. You are always between 1st and 2nd, typically bahind and off to one side of the 2nd baseman depending on his position. When the ball is hit into the outfield, you should come inside the diamond, turning to see the batter-runner touch first. From this position you now have the ball in front of you as well as any runners that you are responsible for.
