I believe the answer is:

points out

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'indicates' is the definition.
('point out' can be a synonym of 'indicate')

'the fielder's in a deeper position' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
'in' is present in the answer.
'position' could be 'pos' (abbreviation) and 'pos' is found within the leftover letters.
The remaining letters 'out' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for points out that I've seen before include "Indicates" , "Draws attention to" , "mistakes in the score" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
