Definition

In slo-pitch softball, the rover is an additional defensive player, bringing the total to ten fielders. This player typically positions themselves in the shallow outfield, often behind the second baseman or shortstop, to cover gaps and provide support to both infielders and outfielders. The roverโ€™s role enhances the teamโ€™s defensive coverage, especially in areas where balls are frequently hit. (Softball Point)
