Thus, the baseball coach could be considered as the backbone of every team. This way, he needs to be tough and loving at the same time. Batting The first rule is this: the visiting team bat first and the home team will bat second. In a case where all teams use the same fields, the home team is predetermined by league officials. If the home team has not been predetermined, a coin toss can be used by the umpire in chief to determine the home team. Make sure that you will use something that you will be able to handle with ease. This step allows you to think quickly and practice your precision as you try to swing and hit the bat during the practice. With the bat on your hand, you have to come up to the plate with a clear plan on your mind. Your goal is to make sure that the bat s contact with the ball is going to be solid and you have to hit the ball at the middle of the bat. Focus on your target, which is the ball. Don t just watch the ball fly you have to be active and alert all the time during the game. Throw the ball cross seam to prevent the ball from sinking, tailing, or going to the opponent player you are throwing to. 7. Learn proper hand and footwork.

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. Three strikes A batter is out if the catcher catches a third strike during an at bat position. However, if the catcher drops the third strike, or the ball gets past by, and there is no base runner at first base, then the batter can run to the first base and try to arrive there safely before the catcher throws the ball there.
