Pitcher: 1
Catcher: 2
First baseman: 3
Second baseman: 4
Third baseman: 5
Shortstop: 6
Left fielder: 7
Center fielder: 8
Right fielder: 9

Things to note to help you learn: It always starts with the pitcher, so he is #1. The infielders are numbered from right to left, around the infield, but the shortstop is listed after the 3rd baseman, as #6. The outfielders are numbered from left to right. It helps if you place your cursor on #1, the pitcher, then trace it sequentially around the numbers a few times.
