The
Objects of the Game
The object for the batter is to hit the ball and run all the way around
the bases to home plate, the 4th base. The purpose for the pitcher is to throw
the ball down the strike zone 3 times and strike the batter out. The goal
for the outfield is to catch the ball and throw it in as fast as they can.
The objective for the catcher is to catch the ball thrown from the pitcher.
The object for the infield is to throw the ball to first base or the other
bases before the ball gets there.
Ways
to get Outs
The easiest way to get somebody out is by catching the ball before it hits
the ground. The second easiest way to get a out is
by throwing the ball to a base or tagging them with the ball in your glove.
The next easiest way to get an out is if the pitcher
throws the ball three times down in the batter box. One of the hardest ways
to get somebody out is if you bunt the ball (half swing) with two strikes
and the ball rolls foul. The hardest way to get somebody out is
by if the ball is really high in the air and stays in the infield.
Ways
to get Points
You can score a run or four runs, is if you hit a ball over the fence
somewhere between 390-440 feet away. Another way to score a run is if the
pitcher throws four balls out of the strike area 4 times in a row, if nobody
is on base, 3 times if one person is on base, 2 times if two people are on
base, and once if the bases are filled.
You can also hit the ball and run around all the bases if there are
people on the bases, you want to hit the ball so they can run from whatever
base they are on to home plate.
Ways
to get Strikes
You can get a strike if the pitcher throws the ball down the plate
and you either swing and miss or you let the ball go by because you don’ t
think it is a good pitch. You can also get a strike if you hit the ball in
foul territory.
