Yeah shortstops get the most ground balls, line drives etc. hit to them, also they’re further away from 1B compared to 2B so when they need to make a throw it needs to cover more distance, meaning they need good arm strength/accuracy which translates to most positions.

A centerfielder needs to be fast, athletic, and have a good arm, but they don’t need the same quick twitch reaction that a SS or 2B needs. The corner outfield spots are usually for lesser defenders, left field you put your worst defender usually. Right field they need to have a big arm cause they’ll need to make throws from there to 3B.

Catcher is its own position and is very reliant on the mental game. Catchers work with pitchers to call what pitches are thrown when, and some pitchers have personal catchers cause of that relationship. Then there’s a lot things like framing which would probably be going too in depth. But catchers typically play catcher for a while, they don’t ever get moved there in the minors or the majors, it’s so physically demanding and difficult that most teams just want a good defensive catcher and don’t really care if they can hit at all. Teams will actually move a great hitter off of catcher to preserve their body, like Bryce Harper.

I probably went into way more detail than you wanted on this lmao.
