Here are some of the main reasons why kids want to learn baseball: 1. For fun - The concept of fun to baseball players vary by age and personality. Younger kids want to play baseball mainly because of action and excitement. Older kids on the other hand, consider baseball as fun game because it is an opportunity to show they can be successful in any endeavor they enjoy doing. A runner has to touch all the bases going around the infield. He has to touch first, second, third and then the home plate before he can score a run. (He has to go back to that plate if he misses touching them.) He cannot pass a fellow runner in front of him. Tagging out A fielder must touch a runner to tag him out, either with the ball or his glove when the ball is in. This frame of mind, however, totally reverses the intent of the sacrifice. To sacrifice, the batter will squarely face the pitcher. For our demonstration, imagine that the hitter is right-handed. As the pitcher goes on the rubber, the batter takes his normal position. Just as the pitcher begins his throwing stance, the batter then turns left, steps back, and moves out with the left foot, moving the right foot up to the spot vacated by the left. The message is sent through using a hand signal. Signs These are the pre-determined hand and arm signals known before the game begins. All the pitchers and the catchers must know the signs for each game. An example might be one finger for fast ball, two for a curve ball, three for a slider and shaking the fingers means a change-up. For the defense, the pitcher starts the game by throwing the ball to the home plate. If the ball is not hit by the player of opponent s team, the catcher (of the defense team) catches it. There are four infielders and three outfielders completing the rest of the team on defense. A defense team has four ways to eliminate an offensive player. They hope to score points by accomplishing runs. The players for the home team acts in defense with the goal of getting the players of the offensive team out through the use of various tactics. The two teams will switch places after three outs have been committed by the offensive team. Every action that is happening in the field revolves on the two essential roles of the players that include being a pitcher and a batter.
