Baseball is a bat-and-ball sport played between two teams, typically consisting of nine players on each side. The game is played on a diamond-shaped field with four bases arranged in a square. The objective is for the batting team to score runs by hitting a ball thrown by the pitcher and running around the bases to reach home plate.
The game consists of nine innings, with each team alternating between batting and fielding. A run is scored when a player successfully completes a circuit of the four bases without being put out by the fielding team. Fielders aim to catch the ball and throw it to teammates to stop the batters from advancing or to tag them out. Batters are out if the ball is caught before it hits the ground or if they are tagged by the ball while running between bases.
The pitcher is a central figure in baseball, aiming to throw the ball past the batter and into the strike zone. The batter's goal is to hit the ball and reach at least first base. Depending on the situation, they may hit singles, doubles, triples, or home runs. A home run occurs when the ball is hit out of the field in fair territory, allowing the batter and any base runners to circle the bases and score without being put out.
Baseball is widely popular in countries such as the United States, Japan, South Korea, and various Latin American nations. It is governed by national and international bodies, with Major League Baseball (MLB) being the most prominent professional league globally. The sport also features in major international events, including the Olympics and the World Baseball Classic.

Batting Power Hitting: Batters aim to hit the ball out of the reach of fielders and run across the four bases to score runs. It requires precise timing and power.
Fielding Defensive Strategy: Fielders attempt to catch or retrieve the ball after it's hit and prevent runners from advancing to bases. Positions include outfielders, infielders, catcher, and pitcher.
