How To Play Baseball For Beginners |
Baseball is one of the most beloved and emblematic American sports. Read these steps to learn how to play the game and how to play it yourself.
Fundamentals and configuration
Understand the basics of the game. Baseball is a team sport played in a special field during several periods of play, called sleeves. Each round is divided into two parts, the "up" and "down", during which one team tries to score points, while the other team defends the ground. The points are scored by hitting a thrown ball with a bat and ran around the four bases and back towards the plate (the plate it from barking). If the runner is touched with baseball by the defensive team before finishing the run, the runner is out. After three exits, the front entrance and the teams change places.
The college games and professional baseball are played nine innings. The levels of competition are less intense generally six or September
The whole defensive team is still on the ground. Offensive players try to hit the ball, one by one, then to start, there is only one offensive player in the field. Gradually, as the game progresses, up to four offensive players may be on the field, but only one batter is at some point. The other three players simply waiting in safe places to complete their races and points.
There are three safe places for runners, one on each corner of the race zone, called bases. The bases must be visited to add a point; Riders can also choose to leave on one basis and wait for the next part to keep running the next. Bases are discussed in more detail below.

Familiarize yourself with the stadium area
The baseball field (sometimes called the "baseball diamond") is a specially designed field consisting of two basic parts: the infield and outfield. The inner picture is the center of action. It is defined by four sturdy pads placed on the floor, called bases, at points equal to each other, forming a square diamond shape. The path to each base to the next is dirt instead of grass. In the diamond is a lawn area, and about half of which is a low-lying mound with another dish that called the launcher's mound.
The batter (attacker) is on a home base called plate and waits for the ball thrown from the pitcher's mound so they can try to hit him with the bat. There is a painted rectangle on each side of the home plate called the "box of dough" that defines the place where the batters are allowed to stand. Another picture painted behind the plate defines where the receiver crouched to catch the ball, if the batter loses.
While other bases are of four-sided canvas and in general, the plate is pentagonal and rubber, to distinguish. There is also usually a large knife-shaped fence around the plate to avoid the stray bullets hit the audience behind.
The bases are numbered counterclockwise a watch on the cover: first, second and third. The second base is on a direct line from the home to the pitcher's mound.
A baseball is hit and the ground to the left of the third base or right of the first base (as seen from the fixing plate) is considered a "farce ball", which invalidates the game. Defective lines are usually painted in the field to show where the edge is.
There are regulatory distances that define the proper baseball field. Each base is 90 feet (27.4 m) away from the next. The pitcher's mound is 60.5 feet (18.4 m) from the fixing plate.

Familiarize yourself with the open field. Crossed the border of the dirt that defines the stadium area is a green wide strip of grass called the open field. The fault lines continue through the gardens, but otherwise the space is open and undefined by structures or lines. There are some defensive players in the open field - left, center and right players - who try to capture and / or return the long distance shots. The gardens are hidden in the center behind the second base. The outer edge of the field is called "near".
Unlike the stadium area, there is no strict rule about the size of a baseball field. The American Professional Baseball Distance Field courses range from 39 to 118.9 m to 435 feet (132.6 m).

Learn the functions of the teams
Each team consists of 25 players, only 9 players in the field at a time, all with specific defensive positions in the field. During offensive play, all players act as hitters, in turn, trying to hit the ball. After the ball was struck, the batter can start running from the base plate around each of the bases in a leftward direction, to complete a return stroke on the home plate and score an item. The defensive team tries to take the ball and score the batter with him, finishing the game. 9 defensive functions are:
The pitcher throws the ball to the batter. The ball should be thrown to a certain level and directly on the fixing plate which is considered fair, but it is a good pitcher yet can make it very difficult to hit.
The receiver squats behind the plate with heavy protective equipment and a special glove and catch the ball when the hitter does not hit him. The receiver can also pick up and throw a ball in play, if it is close.
First base guard first base. They have to be very good at catching the ball; If the first base managed to obtain a hold of the ball before the batter is made on the first base, it is called automatically.
The second base maintains the area between the first and second bases. In addition to marking the runners to second base, the second base also helps to catch balls on the ground before rolling in the open field.
The short field is between the second and third base and returns the balls to one of the base men to help out. The short fields see a lot of action in a typical game - more than any other defensive position - as most right hitters tend to stick the ball into the short field area.
The third base guard closely the third base, and should also have an exceptionally strong throwing arm to send the ball quickly to the first base, along the diamond. This is because (as in the short field) many right-handed hitters send the right ball to the third base when they hit.
Gardeners are three players who maintain a different section of the gardens - left, center and right, as described above. Their job is to catch tall and long balls and prevent the attacking team from scoring runs easy to simply hit the ball hard.
All defensive players are allowed to wear a large leather miter on one side to help them catch the ball. The recipient of the glove is even larger and thicker.

Understanding the role of the referees
The referee is a member of the field not affiliated with one or another team, and the impartiality of the jury. It is the referee's job to look carefully and announce the outcome of each game there are usually a couple of referees in most games. One on the plate, and each of the other three bases. Some games also place two referees in the open field. The home referee usually called the start of the game.
Harassing or intentionally touching an umpire can lead to serious penalties and should be avoided at all costs. Whether he agrees or not, the referee's word is final.
More information about departures. Only offensive team members can get an exit. Once the player is out, they are removed from the game, and the rotation of the bar for the rest of the round. Once the three players are out, the offensive and defensive teams change. There are several ways out. The most common are described below.
If a defensive player catches the ball to the batter before it hits the ground, the batter is automatic, no matter what, even if the ball was caught in the territory of the fault. This is called a "floating".
If a fielder touches a runner with the ball, the runner who is not standing on a base, the runner is out. The ball must be held in the player's hand on the defensive; Beaning the runner with a pitch is unacceptable. This is called a "label".
If a batter gets the chance to hit a good ball, or a lack of rocker and rapper, he is given an attack. Three strikes cause the production, called "punches".
At first base only if a fielder touches the base while holding the ball before the runner can achieve, they are out. This is called a "between teeth".
If a rider is standing on a base and should run forward to make room for the next rider (as a single rider can be a base at one point), they can receive an "out" if a gardener next to the base Touch the base while holding the ball.
Ask about strikes, balls and fouls. On stick day, one of four things can happen at each step: a strike, a ball, a good ball or a foul ball. These terms seem confused as they seem to overlap, but in reality they are very easy to learn:
A strike is an indication that the striker could pass the ball and did not, or danced in the ball and missed. The balls are also cause cracked strikes. After three strikes, the mass is the production and the subsequent mass rises to the plate.
Shooting occurs when the thrower throws a ball that is too far from the strike zone to be considered hit by the batter. After four balls, the batter "on", which is a free advance to the first base. Batsters often essayont whip the plate and take a walk instead of hitting the ball.
A fair ball is a ball that the batter that is between the foul lines, allowing the batter to run to the first base. A good ball that wants hitters, most of the time.
A foul ball is a ball that hits the batter that fell off the foul lines. Unless it transforms into price and side menu, a missing account just like a strike; However, in most cases, players can not have more than two strikes as a result of hitting a foul ball. Felt balls are not counted.
