  • Ninh Explains the Rules of Baseball. Baseball is an American sport

  • and is played with 2 teams of 40 players, with 9 players taking to

  • the field at any one time.

  • The object of the game is for your team to score more runs than the opposing team.

  • To score a run, a player must hit the ball between the foul lines

  • and run across three bases and back to home.

  • A hit outside these lines is classed as a ‘foul balland the batter is not allowed to run.

  • The essence of the game is between the pitcher of one team against the batter of the

  • other team.

  • As mentioned before, the batter’s job is to hit the ball between the foul lines

  • but the pitchers job is to get the batter out by

  • throwing into the strikezone. This is an imaginary box that’s the width of home plate and

  • roughly between the batters armpits and knees. If the pitcher throws the ball through

  • this area

  • it’s a strike. If the batter swings and misses any ball

  • it's also a strike. If the batter hits the ball outside the foul lines

  • it can be a 1st or 2nd Strike only. And obviously, three strikes means

  • youre out! A pitch outside this area is called a ‘ball’.

  • Four balls against a batter and he gets to

  • walk to first base. That sounds simple enough, but there are 3 other ways for a team

  • to get you out.

  • Firstly, if the batter hits the ball along the ground

  • the opposing team can throw the ball to the base he’s running to. If the ball beats the batter

  • to the base - he’s out.

  • A batter can be tagged out whilst running between the bases.

  • If he hits the ball and the ball is caught in the air by the opposing team

  • he’s also out. Once three outs have been made, their half of the inning

  • is over and the other team gets to bat. Once both teams have batted

  • this is known as an inning, the game is played over 9 innings.

  • There are no ties in baseball, so if the score is tied

  • after 9 innings, extra innings will be played to determine the winner.

  • That’s basically it - but there’s a few other rules youll need to understand

  • before playing

  • or going to a game. For example: Home Run

  • If a batter hits the ball out of the park between the foul lines, the batter

  • batter (and anyone standing on the bases) get to walk freely around the bases

  • and back to home. All runs score.

  • Stealing bases: To help move the batters along the bases

  • some players will try and make a run for the next base. This is a risky gamble,

  • as the opposing team will be prepared for this and will try and get you out.

  • If the batter is caught out, he iscaught stealing’.

  • If a catcher misses or drops the ball, the batter can try and steal

  • first base.

  • Tagging up: If the ball is caught in the air: any players standing on the bases

  • must start from that base before running for the next one.

  • Ground Rule Double: If in the rare instance a ball is hit

  • onto the ground and leaves the ballpark, the batter automatically walks to

  • 2nd base.

  • Double play: This is where the ball is hit in play and the defending team gets two

  • outs,

  • usually by way of throwing to one base, and then another. Designated hitter

  • in Major League Baseball American League American League teams can opt to have someone bat

  • in place of the pitcher. This player is the designated hitter,

  • and he usually specialises in hitting the ball and scoring runs.

  • In the National League (and everywhere else) - the pitchers must bat for

  • themselves.

  • There are many other rules not discussed here, but as you watch or play baseball

  • the rules will become clear. If you have found this video helpful

  • please like, share and subscribe. It takes me ages to make one of these things

  • things and good karma is always appreciated. Be sure to follow me on twitter also,

  • but in the meantime,

  • Enjoy Baseball!
