(The infield fly rule is to prevent the fielder from purposely dropping the ball and allowing him to recover it quickly and make a double play.) Running The runner, on the other hand, can also make plenty of outs. Here is the list. the runner is tagged standing off the base; the runner runs outside the baseline; the runner is hit by a batted ball; the runner fails to touch the bag; the runner has another runner behind him and is forced out when the base he is running to is tagged; and, two runners are on the same base; Double play Two outs can also be recorded in one play, most usually where there is a runner on first and the batter hits a ground ball. Schedule - All games will be played according to a schedule. Schedule can be cancelled due to extreme circumstances with permission from the Sports Office. 4. Game duration - Game time is forfeit time. The game shall be one hour long. The official time is based on the umpire's watch. Umpires will announce the last batter. Going from home to fist base is called a single, going from home to the second base is called a double and making it to the third base without stopping is a triple. A homerun is making it safely around all the bases back to home without stopping. The players There are nine players per team. They are, namely, the pitcher, the catcher, the first baseman, the second baseman, the third baseman, the short stop, the left fielder, the center fielder, and the right fielder. Coaches should also ask for informed consent form from the parents or guardians that tell they are allowing the children to be treated in case of an emergency during the game or practice. 2. Always let kids wear helmets - Helmets should be worn by all players at bat and on the base paths. All base coaches, players rotating through the hitting drills, and players who are practicing their swings in the on-deck circle must also wear helmet. Instead, it involves various motions to warm up your body for the game so that you can be prepared for the movements that baseball requires. The following are the recommended warm-up drills for baseball players. Squats Squatting helps relax your hamstrings, glutes, and quads. Start by standing with your feet apart (at about the length of your shoulders) and bending your knees to lower your body. This is a delicate subject because this varies from umpire to umpire. Basically, however, the strike zone is the space over the home plate between the batter s shoulders and the top of his knees (when he is at his natural positional stance). Fair ball A ball that had been batted is considered fair ball if it lands in the field of play.
