Baseball is a bat-and-ball sport played between two teams, typically consisting of nine players each. The game is played on a diamond-shaped field, with four bases arranged in a square layout. The objective of the game is to score runs by hitting a pitched ball with a bat, running around the bases, and returning to home plate. Each team alternates between batting and fielding, with one team attempting to score runs while the other team tries to get batters out.
The game is governed by a set of rules known as the Official Baseball Rules, which outline the gameplay, player positions, and scoring. Baseball consists of nine innings, during which each team has a turn to bat and a turn to field. A game is won by the team that scores the most runs.
Baseball has a rich history and is often referred to as America’s pastime. It is popular in various countries, particularly in the United States, Japan, and the Caribbean, with professional leagues and significant international competitions. The sport is known for its strategic elements, including pitching, hitting, and defensive plays, as well as its traditional aspects, such as ballparks and statistics.
