What are the Positions of baseball?


In Baseball you have the pitcher, his job is to pitch the ball to the hitter and try to make him strike out, then the catcher the catchers job is to catch the ball that the pitcher threw so things dont get out of hand, then the first baseman plays at first base and when the ball gets hit the teamates throw to first to get the batter out, kinda the same with 2nd Short Stop or SS and 3rd, then the outfield usally has 3 to 4 people with the center fielder, right fielder, and left fielder, their job is to catch a pop up or stop the ball from getting further.


What are the rules of Baseball?


In Baseball there are Nine Innings to get as many runs as you can, there are three out per inning and the innings are split in half like top of the first bottom of the first, When there is 3 strikes thats called a Strike Out after the batter takes 3 strikes from the pitcher, then when there is a ball outside the zone its called a ball if a pitcher throws four balls before strikeout or anything else the batter takes a free base thats called a base on balls, then there is a force out, what that is if the runner is forced to move because the batter is running to that base you are vunerable to a force out, its when the defence throws and steps on the base you are going to you are out, then you have the non force outs its when the runner is not forced to run meaning the defence cant step on the base they are going to to get them out they need to tag them with the baseball to get them out before they touch base, then pop ups are when the ball is in the air and catchable for the outfield or infield if they catch the ball before it touches the ground its an out but the runner can do something called taging up meaning the runner sees the ball in the air and go back to the base and wait for the ball to be caught when caught they can run to the next base, but if you step of your base and the ball gets caught but you already left your base you need to return quickly as possible because once they get the ball back in and touch your base you are out.Then you have the infield fly which is when a popup is inside the infield and its a automatic out. Now lets get into hitting and such, When you get the ball into the outfield without them catching the ball its called a base hit meaning you got on base after hitting the ball. Then the ground rule double is when the ball is still in the field but the ball bounces over the fence making it impossible to get the ball back in time so the runner automatticly advance to 2nd base. Then you have the Home Run meaning you hit the ball without it touching the field at all over the fence and advance all bases giving you a run or runs for your team
