If you’re new to baseball, you might be wondering: how exactly does this game work? While it may seem complicated at first glance, baseball is actually built on a simple structure of innings, teams, and turns at bat.
A standard baseball game is played between two teams of nine players. The game is divided into nine innings, and in each inning, both teams get a turn to bat (offense) and a turn to field (defense). The goal is to score runs by hitting the ball and running around four bases: first, second, third, and home plate.
One team tries to score, while the other tries to stop them by getting three outs. Outs can happen in several ways — like striking out, getting tagged while running, or a fielder catching a ball before it hits the ground.
Key positions include the pitcher (throws the ball), the catcher (behind home plate), and fielders who catch or throw the ball to make outs. The game is a balance of skill, strategy, and timing — and once you learn the rhythm, it’s easy to follow and fun to watch.
