players.
C. CATCHING–is a defensive skills used to receive a thrown ball.
D. HITTING/BATTING –is an offensive skills used to strikes the
pitched ball using a bat.
E. RUNNING/BASE RUNNING–a verry important skills you need to
master because it allows you to advance safely from one base to
the other with full speed and agility.

5. ~DEFENSE POSITIONS~
INFIELD POSITIONS
•PITCHER –is the individuals who throws the ball from the middle of the diamond or the pitcher’s
mound.
•CATCHER –the catcher is always behind the batter in a semi –crouched position at home Plate. The
catcher recovers pitches from the pitcher. The catcher also throws balls to other based to thrown out
runers.
•FIRST BASEMAN –the first baseman is the position to the right of the first base. The major role of the
first baseman is to make fielding plays on all balls hit towards first base.
•SECOND BASEMAN –The second baseman plays between the first baseman and the gap at second. If
the ball is hit to the left side to the field, second baseman cover second base. If the ball is hit on their
side of the field, they back up the fielder, cover first, or field the ball depending on where it is hit.
•THIRD BASEMAN –third baseman cover all his to the third base and recieves balls from the outfield.
•SHORTSTOP –The shortstop Fields all balls hit to the infield between the second and third base. This
individuals also helps cover second base, third base, and is frequently involved in force plays, double
plays, and frequently throws the ball to the catcher to thrown out runers at home Plate.

6. ~OFFENSE POSITION~
OUTFIELD POSITIONS
The outfielders are players that cover the grassy area behind the infield.
Outfielders are named for their positions in the field relative to home Plate.
Traditional outfield positions include a “LEFT FIELDER”, a “CENTER FIELDER”, and a
“RIGHT FIELDER”. These players usually back up the plays made by the infielders
and make plays when the ball is hit past or over the infield. Because their positions
cover a greater range than those of infielders, outfielders tend to have strong
throwing arms.
•BATTER –the batter stands facing the Pitcher inside a “BATTER’S BOX” (one
on each side of the plate to compensate for either right or left handed batter).
On offense, the nine starters form a strategically arrange lineup, which
determine the order in which each players batas. Many baseball organizations
allows the use of a designated hitter. This means that one player who is not
among the defensive starters may bat in the place of a defensive player. In
many cases, the designated hitter batas for the pitcher. The players take turns
batting according to the lineup, and once every player has batted, the order
start over from the top. It is against the rules to bat out of order. Substitutions
may be made at any time, but once a player has been remove from the game,
he cannot return (unless specific league rules allows it).

7. ~EQUIPMENT IN BASEBALL~
•SAFETY GEAR : MASK
HELMET
CHEST PROTECTOR
SHIN GUARDS
•GLOVES –In the beginning baseball players did not wear GLOVES.
Today there are several different kinds of GLOVES. The catcher’s mitt
is big, Round, and padded. The first baseman’s mitt is longer than the
other fielders’ GLOVES, and an outfielders’ globe is larger than an
infielders glove.
•BATS –In the major leagues, only wooden bats are used. The rules
say that the bat can only be 42 in hes long, and can only be 2 -3/4
inches in diameter at the the thickest point. White ash is the best
wood to use to make a bat. A bat made out of white ash helps absorb
some of the shock when hitting a 90 mile -per-hour pitch.

8. •BASEBALL –All baseball are made the same size and eight. They
are 9 to 9-1/4 inches in circumference and weigh to 5 to 4-1/4 ounces.
The center of the baseball is cork. The cork ball is covered with
rubber. Cotton and wool yarn are tightly wound around the cork
and rubber center. 150 yards of Cotton yarn (450 feet) and 2019
yardsbof wool yarn (625 feet) are used to make baseball.

9. BASEBALL RULES AND REGULATION
•Each team in a baseball game start nine players. The game is broke
up into innings, during which each team plays both offense and
defense. A Regulation baseball game consists of nine innings (many
levels of youth baseball, including high school, play only six-or
seven-inning Games). An innings starts with the home team on
defense and the away team on offense. The offensive team attempts
to score runs, while the defensive team attempts to record outs.
One inning is completes after each team Makes three outs. The team
that has the most total runs after nine innings are complete is the
winner. If the score is tied, play continues, with each extra inning
fuctioning as a sudden death.

10. SEVERAL WAYS TO RECORD AN OUTS ON
DEFENSE:
•STRIKE OUT : After 3 strikes, the batter is out. However, a batter cannot stroke out
on a foul ball. If he hits a foul ball with two strikes, the Count remains the same.
•TAG OUT :When the ball is in play, any defensive player may tag a base Runner
when he is off the base to record an’out.
•CATCH : If the batter hits a pitched ball in play, and any member of the defense
catches it in the air, then the batter is out. A Runner on base may attempt to
advance to the next base once a catch has been made by “tagging up”. However,
the Runner does so at the risk of being tagged out.
•FORCE OUT: If the batter hits a pitched ball in play that is not caught in the air, the
defense may field the ball and Touch first base (or more likely, throw it to the first
baseman, who then Touches first base) before the batter reached the base to
record the out. Also, if there are runers on first base, first and second base, or all
three biases, the runers must advance if a batter ball touches the ground(they are
“forced”). Therefore, the defense can tag a base in front of a Runner for a force-
out. It is possible for the defense to record multiple force-outs on the same play.
This is called a double play.

11. SEVERAL WAYS THAT A BATTER MAY REACH
BASE SAFELY:
•SINGLE : The batter hits a pitched ball into fair territory, and the defense is Unable to catch it
in the air. If the batter Makes it to first base without being tagged with the ball or before the
defense can make a force-play at first base, than the batter is safe with a single.
•DOUBLE: The batter hits a pitched ball into fair territory, and the defense is Unable to catch it
in the air. If the batter makes it to second base without being tagged with the ball or before
the defense can make a force play, then the batter is safe with a double.
•TRIPPLE: The batter hits a pitched ball into fair teritory, and the defense is Unable to catch it
in the air. If the batter makes it to third base without being tagged with the ball or before the
defense can make a force play, then the batter is safe with a Triple.
•HOME RUN: The batter hits a pitched ball into fair territory, and the defense is Unable to
catch it in the air. If the batter touches all three biases and Makes it to home Plate without
being tagged with the ball or before the defense can make a force play, then the batter is safe
with a home run. In addition, if the batter hits a pitched ball that lands Beyond the designated
outfield fence, it is an automatic home run. He is allowed to jog around the based and Touch
home Plate, and any runers who were on base are also allowed to score.

12. •BASE ON BALLS: If the pitcher throws four pitches out of the strike zone (as
determine by the home Plate umpire) before the batter hits the ball fair or strike
out, then the batter is awarded first base.
•HIT BY PITCH: If a pitched ball strikes the batter on any part of his body, the batter
is awarded first base(unless an umpire determine that the batter intentionally
moved in order to get hit).
•CATCHER’S INTERFERENCE: If the batter’s bat makes Contact with the catcher while
he attempts to swing at a pitch, the batter is awarded first base.
•DEFENSIVE ERROR: If the batter is able to safely reach base as the result of a
defensive player’s mistake, then tha play is called an error. An error has effectively
the same result as a hit, but officially it is a different type of play.
•DROPPED THIRD STRIKE: If a batter wings and missed at a pitched ball for the third
strike, but the catcher drops the ball or it bounces away, the batter may attempts to
run to first base. If the batter reaches first base before the catcher can tag him or
make a force –out, then the batter is safe.
•FIELDER’S CHOICE: If the batter hits a pitched ball into play, and the defense
chooses to tag or force-out another base Runner instead of the batter(therby
allowing the batter to reach base safely), then it is considered a fielder’s Choice. This
is a less desirable way to reach base, because an out os recorded in the process.

13. FIELDS IN BASEBALL
The part of the field closest to the base is called the infield, and the grassy father reaches
are called the outfield. The base are 90 feet apart on the diamond, close in children’s
leagues. Other fields are variable, and the outfield fences or the amount of “foul territory”
–the amount of grounded that orders the field between the long white lines that connect
first base to home Plate and third base to home Plate-varies from field to field.
