Many people are not very clear about the rules of baseball, so it is easy to commit fouls when playing baseball. Therefore, when playing baseball, you must be careful and have a comprehensive understanding of its rules.

Baseball rules:

Two teams play, each with 9 players, and the two teams take turns attacking and defending. The offensive team members take turns at home plate to hit the ball thrown by the defensive team pitcher, and take the opportunity to base-run. Those who can step on 1, 2, 3 bases and return to home plate safely get one point. After the defending team intercepts the ball hit by the offensive team, they can continue to touch the offensive team's baserunner or step on the base with the ball to "block" the baserunner. If the defensive player catches the ball before the ball hits the ground, the baserunner is called "caught". If the pitcher throws three "good" balls to the batter, the baserunner is "struck out". When three members of the attacking team are "killed" out, the two sides switch positions. One inning is composed of one attack and one defense by each team. The official match consists of 9 innings, and the team with the most points wins.

The names of the defensive team according to their defensive position and responsibilities are as follows: pitcher, catcher, 1 baseman, 2 baseman, 3 baseman, shortstop, left fielder, center fielder, and right fielder. The player of the attacking team who enters the field to bat is called the batsman. When a fair ball is hit legally and is not caught by the defensive players on the field, the batter should run to the bases immediately and is called a "strike-runner". When the pitcher throws four bad balls or allows the ball to touch the runner's body, the runner is "walked" to first base (a "good" ball means that the pitcher throws the ball into the strike zone and the batter does not hit the ball. "Brushstrokes", "foul balls" and swings in the air also fall into the category of "good" balls. A "bad" ball means that the pitcher throws the ball outside the strike zone and the batter does not swing at it). When a batter-runner safely reaches first base, he is called a "base runner".

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of the rules of baseball. Therefore, when playing baseball, we must pay attention to the above issues. However, it should be noted that when choosing a baseball, we must also understand the skills of its use so that we can play baseball easily.
