Shortstop in a sentence as a noun

On a high school baseball team, almost every player was a shortstop and/or the cleanup batter in little league.

All were screaming, "Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay"Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, "Run to third!

My son is in his first year of baseball, and I over heard some parents and coaches discussing whether to send a kid from third to home even when the shortstop is holding the ball at the edge of the infield.

A baseball player might well do something after the majors—coaching, announcing, hawking life insurance—but it’s still reasonable to talk about a “mid-career shortstop” six years in.
