Why Pitching Matters So Much
Pitching plays a central role in every baseball game. The pitcher controls the pace, challenges hitters, and works with the catcher to choose the best pitch for each situation. A strong pitching performance can shut down even the most powerful offense.
Good pitching isn’t just about throwing fast—it’s about control, movement, and strategy. When pitchers are on their game, even a low-scoring matchup can be exciting to watch.

The Basics of Scoring in Baseball
In baseball, runs are scored when a player successfully touches all four bases—first, second, third, and home plate—in order. Hits, walks, and smart base running all help create scoring opportunities. A single big hit can change the momentum of an entire game.
Because runs are often hard to come by, teams must take advantage of every chance. This makes each at-bat important and keeps fans engaged from the first inning to the last.

Winning the Game
At the end of the game, the team with the most runs is declared the winner. If the home team is ahead after the top of the ninth inning, they do not need to bat in the bottom half. If the score is tied, extra innings are played until one team wins.
Baseball games reward strategy, patience, and teamwork. Every pitch and play can make a difference in the final score.

Fair Balls and Foul Balls
When a batter hits the ball, it is either fair or foul. A fair ball lands inside the foul lines or touches them. A foul ball lands outside the lines. Fair balls can be played normally and allow runners to advance.
Foul balls count as strikes unless the batter already has two strikes. Even though foul balls are not in play for base running, they can still be caught for an out if they are hit in the air.

Making Outs on Defense
The defensive team’s main job is to get outs. An out can be made by catching a batted ball in the air, tagging a runner with the ball, or forcing a runner out by throwing the ball to a base before the runner arrives.
Pitchers and fielders must work together to make outs. Strong throwing, quick reactions, and good teamwork are key parts of successful defense.

Getting On Base
Batters can reach base in several different ways. The most common way is by hitting the ball and running to first base before the defense can get them out. Batters can also reach base by drawing a walk or being hit by a pitched ball.
Once on base, players become base runners. Base runners can advance to the next base when the ball is hit, thrown, or caught. Smart base running can help a team score more runs.

Balls, Strikes, and Strikeouts
Every time a batter faces a pitcher, the count begins at zero balls and zero strikes. A strike is called when the batter swings and misses or does not swing at a pitch that passes through the strike zone. A ball is called when the pitch is outside the strike zone and the batter does not swing.

How Innings Work
A standard baseball game is made up of nine innings. Each inning is divided into two halves: the top half and the bottom half. During the top half, the visiting team bats while the home team plays defense. In the bottom half, the teams switch roles.
Each team gets three outs per half-inning. Once three outs are made, that team’s turn at bat is over. If the game is tied after nine innings, extra innings are played to determine a winner.

The Goal of Baseball
The goal of baseball is to score more runs than the opposing team. A run is scored when a player safely touches first base, second base, third base, and then home plate. Teams score runs by hitting the ball and running the bases without getting out. Every rule in baseball is designed around helping one team score runs while the other team tries to prevent it.
Baseball is played by two teams, usually with nine players on each side. One team plays offense by batting, while the other plays defense by fielding the ball. After three outs, the teams switch roles.
