how do you play baseball?

Answer 1

9 players on the field and one batter from the other team. pitcher throws ball to catcher but u swing the bat to hit it. if u swing and miss it..its a strike. if u let it go and it was hitable its a strike. if u dont hit it and its not hitable its a ball. if it goes foul its a strike, but u can have as many foul balls as possible, no limit on those. on your 3rd strike your out and 4 balls u are granted to first base. if the ball hits u..u go to first base..and if there was already a player on first..they go to second and u still go to first. if you hit the ball and somebody in the field catches it before it hits the ground you are out. if the batting team gets 3 outs...then they have to switch w/ the other team and take the field.

check the site below out. Otherwise the basic rules are as follows:

Teams consist of nine players who use a leather-covered hard ball, a wooden (in the professional game) or aluminum bat, and padded gloves. Additionally, the batter, catcher, and home-plate umpire wear special protective gear. Teams alternate turns in the field and at bat, the home team batting last. One turn at bat for each team constitutes an inning, and nine innings constitute a game. In the field there are a pitcher, a catcher, four infielders, and three outfielders. The pitcher throws overhand, employing a variety of deliveries (fastball, curve, knuckleball, etc.), from the raised pitcher's mound to home plate, a distance of 60.5 ft (18.4 m). An opposing batter attempts to hit the pitches and safely reach base, while the fielders attempt to put the batter out through various plays. A batter who misses three pitches, or fails to swing at three judged hittable, is out on “strikes”; but if the pitcher first throws four pitches out of the strike zone, the batter obtains a base on balls, or “walks” to first base. A run is scored every time a batter becomes a runner and crosses home plate after touching each base in the prescribed order. When the fielding team puts out three batters (or runners), the teams exchange places. If the score is tied at the end of nine innings, play continues into extra innings until one team has scored more runs than the other in an equal number of turns at bat.
