Baseball is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams, typically consisting of nine players each. The objective of the game is to score runs by hitting a ball thrown by the opposing team’s pitcher and running around a series of four bases arranged in a diamond shape. The game is played on a field with an infield and outfield; the infield contains the bases and the pitcher’s mound, while the outfield is the area beyond the infield.
The game is divided into innings, with each team alternating between batting and fielding. When a team bats, players take turns hitting the ball and attempting to reach bases to score runs. The defending team fields the ball, trying to get the batters out through various means, including catching the ball, tagging players, or throwing the ball to the designated base before the runner arrives.
Baseball is known for its unique terminology, rules, and strategies, and it has a rich history, particularly in the United States, where it is often referred to as America’s pastime. The game emphasizes teamwork, skill, and strategy, and it has a strong cultural significance, with professional leagues, amateur leagues, and a passionate fan base.
