I am a base ball player and I am the power hitter, last game I struck out 3 times and hit for a pop-fly out. One of my team mates hit a homerun, another hit a triple. I am missing next game. I have 11 players on my team. I was wondering if you think I will get moved down in the lineup, If so, which spot do you think I will be in?

The line-up for each game is established by your manager. None of us would have any way of knowing what he is going to do with you next game. The best way to get an answer to your question would be to ask him.

This is a tough question to answer without more info. Generally though, a manager won't move a player down in the lineup after one game's performance. What have you done so far this season? How much power do you have over the other players? Are you the best hitter on the team?
Basically, you want a speedy guy who gets on base with number 1, a guy who makes good contact and can bunt for number 2, your best hitter number 3, and a guy w/ power in the number 4 (clean-up) spot. If you're the team's established best hitter, then you will stay in the number 3 hole to ensure you get the most at-bats possible (guaranteed to come up in the first inning). But, if your average starts to dip after a few weeks and you still hit HRs, you'll probably be moved to number 4 depending on what your other teammates do.
Also, all of the above is lineup theory in general. There are many ways to construct a line-up.
Hope this helps.

There will definitely be some changes... I play college ball, and here is one thing that might help you with your striking out and pop fly situation... If you think your a power hitter, and swing for the fences every time, they your going to hit more pop ups than anything, and your more likely to strike out. Just swing hard and use your body, if your truly a power hitter it will come to you that way.
I use to have the same problem, but then my high school coach got me out of that, I was a base hitter for a season, then I got used to it and started hitting clean up again.
Honestly, it sounds like you might be hitting 6th unless you have a really good history with getting on base

One game should not affect the line up. Baseball is a game of averages, 0-4 happens, the law of average always comes through. Keep working hard, keep your eye on the ball, make sure your mechanics are good and consistent, and have fun, youll be alright

You should quit the game and become cheerleader for having the name "Fluffy Duffy", and not knowing that baseball is one word.
