There are no shortcuts in getting good with it. You have to learn the skills and make sure that you won t forget these by making sure that you won t miss out on your practice. Why do you have to learn the drills? This is very essential to be sure that you will have mastery of all elements of the game and you will be in top form every time you go out in the field. The groups take turns in playing as the batting and the pitching team. Batters play by attempting and succeeding to hit the ball and then advancing to the bases without being hit by the ball, which could be caught by the infielders or pitchers. The pitching team s goal is to catch the hit ball and try to arrest batters or runners who are making their way to go to bases (there are four of them, including the home base, the last destination). They have signs for intended pitch locations, such as low or inside and for positioning the infield. Stolen signs Like thieves, opposing teams try to steal each other s signs. Usually, this opportunity comes in when there is a runner at second base. This runner is in a very good position to see the signals from the catcher. There is a need for the pitching team to go to a base first before a runner does. There is hit-and-run when the batter swings a pitch at the same time another runner on a base advances to get to the next base. An error is committed when a fielding player makes a bad throw to allow any batter or runner to advance to the succeeding bases. Once you are out in the field, you will understand that it is indeed complex with so many rules that you have to bear in mind as you get on with the game. Here are some samples that can help you get started with these special rules. Foul pole. In the playing field, there are poles that are set up on the left and right sides of the fields to serve as the foul line. The bat is made of a metal composite or aluminum for amateur players and wood for professional players. An important aspect of the game is the position that each player takes. 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.
