Dial a sufficient number of people. In baseball, people almost as much as in football, so for a full game you need to find a minimum of 18 people. That is, in each team of 9. Substitutions in the game are not limited, but it is worth remembering that the player who was replaced, can no longer return to the game.

Remember the general information. A team of guests (they can be chosen by lot) plays initially in the attack, and the hosts - in defense. Forwards - these are those who at the beginning of the game try to beat the bat with the ball, and the defenders try to throw this ball to one another. But the further subtleties will be written below. The playground is something like, a quarter of a circle, with a rhombus inside. The area of ​​the playing field is approximately one hectare. In the center of the diamond, is a small mound, on which stands the main player of protection - a pitcher (a player who throws the ball at the beginning of the game). At the corners of the site are bases (in the number of three), and directly opposite the pitcher, also in the corner of the site is another player of protection - ketcher. His goal is to catch a ball kicked by a pitcher. Before the pitcher is a player from another team - batter. The goal of the batter is not to let the cat catch the ball, ideally to hit the ball with a bat so that no one can catch it at all. There is one defender on each base. Between the first and second base is the defending player - shortstop. The goal of all these players is not to give the attacking team a base. It should be noted that the bases are small bags located at the corners of the game rhombus. Of the attackers, it is worth noting three outfielder, which are located behind the perimeter of the diamond. Their goal is to catch the ball running batter and deliver it to the base sooner than there will be batter.

Understand the meaning of this difficult game. The meaning of the game for the attackers is to run through all the bases and return to the "home". To protect - knock out the player's attack in the out. In a figurative sense, of course. To send a striker to the outside you need to catch a catcher ball on the fly, or run to the base with the ball before the catcher gets there. Batter can stop at any of the bases. But on one base can not be placed just two batter. After one batter reaches the base or falls into the strike, another batter enters the attack. After three strikeouts, defense and attack are reversed. If the attackers occupy all the bases and return to the house, they are given a point. Each team in the attack plays 9 innings (sets). As a result, which team has more points at the end, that wins. If the score is tied, they play an extra inning. If the batter knocks the ball off the court, all the batteries on the bases can return to the house, and the attack team is given one to four points, depending on the number of batters returning home.

Tip 2: How to play baseball

AT baseball there are several mandatory rules, without which the game loses its meaning. To achieve meaningful and stable results in this sport it is necessary to study them properly.

To participate in the game two teams are formed. In each of them should be nine people. All players take their positions - for each of them a certain place on the field is fixed. Between the teams are allocated such roles: players who are within the field are protected, and those who beat the ball - attack. Thus, only the team that attacks can earn points in its favor. In order to switch roles, the team that defends must make three outs to the attacking side. Only after this, the players in the defense will be able to attack and earn points. After the attacking team receives three outs, it moves to the field and catches the ball to defend. The same team, which up to this point was defending, takes the attacking position and beats the ball. Such a change of roles in baseball is called an init.The duration of the whole game is nine. In other words, the teams change places nine times, after which they count the points scored. However, if the end result of both commands is the same, then the number of initials increases. At the beginning of the game, nine people come out and take their positions on the field. And from the attacking team comes only one player to beat the ball. It is called "hitting." Pitcher throws the ball to the battering player in a certain zone marked on the field and called a strike, and he, in turn, must hit the ball with a bat. If the pitcher allows four misses, throwing the ball past the strike zone, you get a situation called "bol", and if it produces three accurate hits and the striker misses - strike. Three strikes called out. If the ball fell into the right zone, the referee determines. If the batted ball does not hit the boundaries of the field, the kick is called a foulbol and counted as a strike for the team. If the ball is in the field, the striker runs to the first base, and the defense catches the ball and hands it to the player at the first base. When the ball is in place before the batter, the attacking team gets an out, if on the contrary - the batter remains on the base and gets a save. Now the next player takes the bat instead of him. Having beaten the ball, he runs to the first base, and the previous beating - to the next. The team earns one point if the attacking player has managed to run all four bases and return to the first one. If the pitcher allowed four bouts, the batter also returns to the first base and the team receives a point. A blow, as a result of which the ball, without touching the ground, will fly through the whole field and it will be outside its borders called the home run. For him the team automatically counts a point.

Tip 3: What are the rules of the game of baseball

Baseball is very popular in the US, in Japan and even inVenezuela, China and South Korea. However, in Russia this game sport is not very well-lit despite the fact that mass culture is gradually heating up interest in it.

The country-the ancestor of baseball is traditionally considered the United States. It is believed that modern baseball is played according to the rules developed by the New Yorker Alexander Cartwright in 1845.

General rules

Like any game, baseball starts with the participants. There are two teams, including 9 (sometimes 10) players who take turns playing in the attack and defense. The task of the defending side is to prevent the attackers from earning points by running all four bases of the playing field and returning to the "home". The game field is divided into two parts: "infield" - the inner part, which is a square with a side of 27 m 45 cm, at the corners of which there are bases, "outfield" - part of the field between the square and the fence. In the center of the square is the so-called pitcher's hill, and the "home" is the first base. The player from the defending team, "pitcher" (from the English pitch - pitch), throws a baseball to the side of the "home", where there is a "batter" - the batterer from the attacking team. After the batter has hit the ball, he begins to run towards the second base, and the defense team players must catch the beaten ball and use it to bring the running player out of the game, out. There are several ways for this: - Force-out: the ball protection player got on the base before the runner reached it - Ground-out: the option of a force-out - the defending player threw the ball to another player standing on the base before running it reached - the fly-out: the hit, but not touching the ground, the ball was caught by the defending player - tag-out: the defending team member touched the ball of the runner when he was between the bases - also the player goes to the end if he could not hit the ball three times in a row - this is called strike-out.

Terms of Victory

Point, or "wounds" (from the English. Run - to run), is awarded to the attacking team, if the player was able to pass all bases. The so-called home run is achieved in the event that the batter was able to hit the ball, and he flew out of the field, but flew between the special penalty masts. This blow allows you to score a point for the batter and all the runners. The team that wins the most points for 9 periods, or innings, of the match wins. Every time three players of the attack team went into touch, the teams change places. Thus, each inning consists of 6 outs. In the event that the number of team points is the same, an additional inning is assigned. The rules of baseball help to develop a variety of the most diverse strategies of the game, which makes it an interesting leisure for people of all ages and ages.

Tip 4: What is Draft

Modern sport is a competition of money,characters, physical qualities, talents and minds. Especially important is the money factor in team sports, because rich clubs have the opportunity to receive the most talented players. Strengthen competition between clubs allows draft players.

Athlete Selection System

The draft is a system for selecting new athletes,Used by rich leagues and associations of team sports. The system itself is one of the best ways to regulate relations between clubs and increase competition. In the course of the draft, the teams can strengthen their squad, taking turns choosing the players that the coach considers to be the strongest available. Every year there is a certain pool of players (usually young representatives of other leagues and amateur athletes) who want to become players of one of the teams of a particular league. Then he must apply for the draft. Clubs receive information about all players (usually it is brief - club, weight, height, age). Each club has its own order of choice of players. Usually the right of first choice is given to the weakest team of the last season. The club-holder of the "first draft number" can choose any player at his discretion. Usually clubs choose the strongest draft pick, but there are exceptions - when the team wants to save on the contract or worries that the draft picker will not want to play in the league because of personal problems.

Draft NHL

National Hockey League (NHL) for the first timesuggested the use of draft. This was due to the fact that the financial gap between the clubs reached such proportions that the games began to boycott the fans of weak teams. The NHL draft is a bright show that is broadcast on TV, and millions of fans around the world watch it. Beginners arrange speed races, punched "bullets" and demonstrate the art of handling the puck. The first draft numbers were also Russian hockey players: Alexander Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin and Nail Yakupov.

Draft in baseball

Baseball is one of the most popular Americangames. The game is similar to Russian lapt and cricket, it has players of all kinds: catchers, catching the ball with a glove, pitchers throwing it, hitting (players with a bat) and defenders. The American baseball league is holding a draft in April. The draft in baseball is not broadcast on TV, but is a classic selection of athletes. The weakest team is given the right to choose the player first, and for this it is necessary to seriously shell out - after all the contract is signed after the procedure of "declaration of sympathies".

Scouts

The main preparatory work before the draftScouts collect information about new players. Usually, the rules forbid representatives of clubs to negotiate with the newcomers about the amounts of contracts, but many scouts ignore this rule. From the professionalism of scouts the successes of the club largely depend - the injection of "fresh blood" is necessary even for leading teams. Writer and economist Michael Lewis in his book "MoneyBall: How Mathematics Changed the Most Popular Sports League in the World" talks about the stereotypes of scouts relying on their "flair" for selecting players, running speed and appearance, rather than statistics and real gaming achievements.

Tip 5: How to choose a baseball glove

Baseball gloves help players catch ballsduring play and training. Depending on the position on which the athlete is playing, he needs different models of gloves. In Russia, baseball is not very popular, so sellers in sports stores are unlikely to help choose the right option. Therefore, you need to be able to choose baseball gloves yourself.

In baseball, traps are traditionally used -Gloves that make it easier to catch the ball. Depending on the position of the players on the playing field, the length, pocket edge, design and size, which is traditionally measured in inches, may differ. Such a glove was introduced into the mold in the late nineteenth century. Between the thumb and the joint four is the membrane. It serves as a kind of pocket, allowing you to cover a large area and not letting the ball jump off.

Quality

Pay special attention to the quality, becauseThe glove has a really big load. It is desirable that it be made of specially treated, high-strength leather. Of course, such a glove will cost a lot, but it will serve you for many years. Separate attention should be paid to the seams. They must be made of thick, strong threads. Try to pull a couple of them. If the seams are easily succumbed, it is better not to buy such a glove, as it can at any time simply disperse. New gloves, as a rule, are not too convenient. The skin does not allow the hand to move fully, rubs the calluses and causes discomfort. Insufficient elasticity does not mean that the glove is not of high quality, even vice versa. Some, to carry the trap, lubricate it with various oils, move the car or warm up in the oven. This helps make the glove more elastic, but it is not necessary to resort to such emergency measures. It's enough just to play in it for a couple of weeks.

Selection of gloves

First you need to choose the size. There are many models on the market, so the choice of the right amount of labor will not be. There are even children's gloves that fit a small pen. In the store you can also find universal gloves, which are located special fasteners. They allow you to change the size of the glove. This is ideal for a child, because the size of the glove can be increased as you grow. Classic models for fixing the size use only lacing. Professional athletes even sew themselves equipment to order, as this directly affects the quality of the game. Gloves, in addition, differ in the direction of the thumb, so that a suitable option can choose not only the righties, but also the left-hander. In addition, some players need a glove for the opposite hand from the throwing.
