Q & A

¿Qué esis el béisbol y qué se necesita para jugar?

El béisbol es un deporte que se juega con un bate, una pelota y un guante. El bate es de forma circular, lo que dificulta golpear la pelota en la dirección deseada.

¿Cuál es la estructura básica de un campo de béisbol?

Un campo de béisbol tiene cuatro bases llamadas bases, y se juega en un área de 90 grados. Si la pelota sale de esta área, no es útil para el juego.

¿Cómo se dividen las funciones entre los dos equipos en una partida de béisbol?

En el béisbol, un equipo está batiendo y el otro está en campo. Después de un cambio, los roles se intercambian, con el equipo que batía pasando a campo y viceversa.

¿Cuál es el objetivo básico del jugador que batea en el béisbol?

El objetivo es que el lanzador lance la pelota, el bateador la golpee en el área de juego y luego recorra las bases (primera, segunda, tercera y casa), lo que equivale a una carrera.

¿Qué es la zona de strikes en el béisbol y cómo se determina?

La zona de strikes es el objetivo del lanzador al lanzar la pelota. Se encuentra entre la cintura y la rodilla en altura y tiene la anchura igual a la placa de la base para todos los jugadores, pero la altura depende de la estatura del jugador.

¿Qué sucede si el jugador que batea no logra golpear la pelota lanzada por el lanzador dentro de la zona de strikes?

Si el lanzador lanza la pelota dentro de la zona de strikes y el bateador no se swingea, eso es un strike. Si el jugador recibe tres strikes, es declarado out.

¿Qué es un 'foul ball' en béisbol y cómo afecta el conteo de strikes y balls?

Un 'foul ball' es cuando la pelota golpea el bate y sale al área fuera de juego. Si hay cero o un strike y se produce un foul, se cuenta como strike. Si hay dos strikes y se produce un foul, no cuenta para nada.

¿Qué es un 'fair ball' y qué debe hacer el bateador cuando se produce uno?

Un 'fair ball' es cuando la pelota es golpeada por el bateador y cae dentro del área de juego. El bateador debe correr a la primera base sin excepción.

¿Cómo se puede producir un 'out' en béisbol y cuáles son las formas comunes?

Se puede producir un 'out' de varias maneras: si el campo atrapa la pelota en el aire, si el jugador es 'put out' al llegar a la primera base después de que un campo llegue con la pelota antes que él, o si es 'tag out' cuando un campo toca al corredor con la pelota en la mano.

¿Qué es un 'home run' y cuál es su efecto en el marcador de una partida de béisbol?

Un 'home run' ocurre cuando el bateador golpea la pelota fuera del campo de juego y por encima de la valla del outfield. Esto permite que todos los jugadores en las bases corran y SCOREN, lo que puede resultar en múltiples puntos para el equipo.

¿Cómo se organiza una partida completa de béisbol y qué sucede si termina en empate?

Una partida de béisbol consta de nueve innings, con tres outs por equipo en cada inning, lo que se conoce como media entrada. Si al final de los nueve innings es un empate, se continúa jugando entradas adicionales hasta que surge un vencedor.

¿Cómo se lee una pizarra de puntos durante una transmisión de béisbol en televisión?

La pizarra de puntos muestra información sobre carreras, outs, bolas y strikes, quién está batiendo y en qué inning se encuentra la partida. Los triángulos apuntando hacia arriba o abajo indican quién está batiendo (arriba) o en campo (abajo), y los números representan bolas, strikes y jugadores en las bases.

⚾ Introducción a las reglas del béisbol

Este video explica las reglas básicas del béisbol. El béisbol se juega con un bate, una pelota y un guante. El campo tiene cuatro bases y se juega en un área de 90 grados. El objetivo es que el lanzador lance la pelota, el bateador la golpee y corra a las bases para anotar carreras. El equipo con más carreras gana el partido. Se describe la vista superior del campo y la terminología básica como el montículo de lanzamiento, el plato de home y las bases.

05:00

⚾ Terminología y zona de strike

Se detalla la terminología del béisbol y la zona de strike. El lanzador debe lanzar la pelota dentro de la zona de strike, que varía según la altura del jugador. Un strike se marca si el bateador no golpea una pelota dentro de la zona de strike. Tres strikes resultan en un out. Si la pelota se lanza fuera de la zona de strike y el bateador no la golpea, es una bola. Cuatro bolas permiten al bateador caminar a la primera base. También se explica qué ocurre si la pelota golpea al bateador o si se produce un foul ball.

Highlights

Baseball is played with a bat, ball, and glove, emphasizing the challenge of hitting the ball accurately with a round bat.

The game is set in large stadiums with four bases, which are key to understanding the layout of the field.

Two teams participate, alternating between batting and fielding roles, showcasing the strategic nature of the game.

The playing area is a 90-degree sector, highlighting the importance of spatial awareness in baseball.

The objective is to hit the ball and run around the bases to score runs, with the team scoring more winning the match.

Top view of the field introduces key positions such as pitching mount, home plate, and outfield areas.

The pitching speed can reach up to 95 miles per hour, requiring quick reflexes from the batter.

Strike zone dimensions vary by player height, affecting the difficulty of hitting the ball.

A strike occurs when the batter doesn't swing at a pitch in the strike zone, or swings and misses.

Three strikes result in an out, a fundamental rule in baseball.

A 'ball' is when the pitch is outside the strike zone and the batter doesn't swing, leading to a walk if four are thrown.

A 'hit by pitch' allows the batter to walk to first base if the ball hits them.

A 'foul ball' is complex, affecting the count differently depending on the current strike situation.

A 'fair ball' requires the batter to run to first base, regardless of where the ball lands in the playing field.

Getting 'out' can occur in various ways, including being caught or tagged out, emphasizing defensive strategies.

A 'home run' is a thrilling moment where the ball is hit over the outfield fence, allowing all runners to score.

The game consists of nine innings, with each team having opportunities to bat and score.

Scoring is dynamic, with the possibility of a tie leading to extra innings until a winner is determined.

Understanding the scoreboard is crucial for following the game's progress, including runs, outs, balls, and strikes.

hello friends welcome to the school of

sports in this video i'm going to tell

you the rules of baseball baseball is

played with a bat ball and a glove now

the bat is circular in shape so it's

hard to hit the ball where you really

want to hit it baseball is played in

massive stadiums and you would see four

blocks on the baseball field they are

called bass and because it's played with

the ball the game is called baseball

baseball is played between two teams one

team would be batting at the time and

the other team would be fielding at a

time and after an ending they would

switch their roles so the batting team

would field and the fielding team would

bat baseball is played in a 90 degree

area so only this area would be used for

playing if the ball goes into any other

area it's not really useful

now the basic purpose of baseball is

pitcher throws the ball batsman hits the

ball in the playing area and then

batsman goes to first base second base

third base and back to the home that is

one run the team that scores more runs

wins the match

let's take a look at the top view this

is how it looks like from the top this

is a field this is how it looks like

from top let's cover some terminology

this is a pitching mount this is a home

plate and then first base second base

third base so there are four bases and

then this is center field left field

right field and foul line so foul line

determines the playing area if the ball

is between the foul line it's good

otherwise it's not good and then there's

a places for coaches and if we look at

the pitching mount and the home plate

from this area this is how it's gonna

look like you have a pitcher in the

batter and catcher and the umpire

pitcher is objective is to throw the

ball to the catcher and better need to

hit it pitcher can throw ball from 70 to

95 miles per hour and the distance is

short so ball can come in just half a

second hitter need to make his judgment

to hit the ball within half second

that's fast

mostly you would see television angle

which would have a camera behind the

picture so this is what you're gonna see

when you look at the tv here's the

batsman this guy's a pitcher and he's a

catcher and here's an empire and you see

this white box this is called a strike

zone so what is this strike zone

basically the objective of pitcher is to

throw the ball into the strike zone

strike zone is between the waist and the

knee that's the height and the width is

equal to the base plate with the same

for all players but the height depends

upon the height of the player taller

players have a bigger strike zone let's

talk about strike what is strike in

baseball when pitcher throws a ball in

the strike zone and the batter didn't

swing his bat that is a strike even if

ball is on the boundary that is strike

if pitcher throws three strikes then the

player is strike out the player would go

out and then the next player would come

in

another thing is ball what is ball if a

pitcher throws a ball outside the strike

zone and batter didn't swing his bat

then that is a ball a pitcher throws

four balls then a walk to first pace so

the batsman would go to the first base

and as you see here the second batsman

would come and stand on the home plate

there's another way in which strike can

happen if a batsman has swung his bat

and then it doesn't matter whether the

ball is inside the strike zone or the

ball is outside the strike zone if he's

not able to contact the ball and swing

his back that is a strike this is where

it gets very interesting if the pitcher

knows that the batsman is going to swing

then he's going to throw a crazy ball

and there's no way the hitter is going

to hit it and that would be a strike

that's what the pitcher needs another

thing is hit by pitch so if a pitcher

throws the ball and it hits the batsman

then it's a hit by pitch and then

pitcher gets to walk so he would move to

the first base and the next player would

come in let's talk about foul so if a

pitcher throws a ball it hits the bat

and then it goes into the non-playing

area that's called foul so you see here

the pitcher throws the ball

and these are the foul lines so area

within the foul line is fine if it goes

outside then it's a foul ball so any of

these shots the ball would be a foul

ball so what is really foul ball is it a

strike or a ball it depends it depends

upon the situation it depends upon the

situation if there's a zero strike and

then there's a foul then that is counted

as strike if there's one strike and it's

a fall then it is counted as a strike

if you have a two strikes and then you

do fall it doesn't really count so if

you have a zero or one strike then the

foul would be counted as a strike if you

have two strike then fall doesn't really

mean anything let's look at a fair ball

the most fun part so pitch it through

the ball batsman hit it and it's in the

playing field anywhere in the playing

field is fine even if ball lands in the

playing field and then goes out that is

also fine

once player hits the ball it's a fair

ball he must go to the first base he

doesn't have any choice he needs to go

to the first place

let's take a quick look of what we

learned so far

ball is in the strike zone batter then

swing his back that strike three strikes

is equal to out ball is outside the

strike zone better than swing his bat

that is a ball four ball is equal to one

walk better swing his back but was not

able to connect with the ball doesn't

matter whether ball is inside the strike

zone or outside it is called a strike

and three strike is one out if a ball

hits the batsman that is called hit and

in that case the batsmen get to walk to

the first base

if the ball strikes the bat and it goes

into the foul area then it's called foul

ball if a player has zero or one strike

then the foul would count as strike if a

player has two strike then the foul

would do nothing

if a player contact the ball and it goes

into the fair fair area it's called fair

ball in that case the batsman must go to

the first base

let's talk about the ways in which a

player can get out so the first way is

hear the pitcher through the ball

batsman hit the ball it's in the air and

one of the fielders caught the ball in

this case it's out if ball went high and

player catches somewhere here it's

called pop out but if ball goes like

deep into the field and there's someone

catches it it's called as a flyout let's

talk about put out picture through the

ball batsman hit the ball nobody caught

it directly now the hitter must run to

the first base but before hitter runs to

the first base if a fielder can reach to

the first base with the ball in his hand

then the player is put out in this case

because fielder is closed he reached

before the batsman so he's a put out

let's talk about taggle so pitcher

through the ball hitter hits the ball

fielder is coming to get the ball and

then runner is running now here the

fielder with the ball has two options

one either he moved to the base in that

case it's a put out or he can just touch

the player who's running so if a fielder

has a ball in his hand and he touches a

player who's running then it's a tag out

consider this scenario pitch it through

the ball hitter hit the ball and then

fielder got to the ball now in this case

you might be wondering you know runner

should be able to run to the first base

there's no way fielder can either touch

him or he can reach to the first base so

he should be fined right but think about

it what if this player can reach to the

first base and another player can throw

the ball now the player is on the base

has a ball and if they can do it before

the hitter reaches first place then

hitter would be out so that's what

exactly going to happen here he threw

the ball before runner reaches there so

he's out in case runner is able to reach

to the first base without getting out

then what would happen is player 2 would

come here and he would bat in that case

we would say first base is loaded and

second player is batting

let's talk about first base loaded and

stolen base if you remember this is

first base this is second base this is

third base so here first base is loaded

now what can happen is when pitcher is

throwing the ball he can run and go to

the second base look what happens he

went there and he's able to do it before

catcher throws the ball back to the

player

to prevent player one to move to the

base second they move the player to the

first place the reason they do it

because now in this scenario pitcher can

throw ball directly to the first base

and player one would be out so player

one needs to reach out to the first base

before

pitcher throws the ball and the person

on the first base catches the ball now

pitcher has a second option which is he

needs to throw the ball to the batsman

as well he need to make decision whether

he need to throw the pitch or he need to

throw ball to the base so depending upon

how far this guy is if he's somewhere

here definitely he's out so pitcher

needs to be very aware of the

surroundings let's take a look at the

first base loaded and it's a fair play

so first base loaded you see a player

over here and second player is batting

ball is thrown

ball is in the air and you would see

player one is in middle of first and

second base why isn't he middle of these

two bases why he hasn't gone to base two

is because if ball is caught then he

must return to his original position

if ball is dropped then he can move to

the

next base so he's standing here and

waiting whether ball will be caught or

dropped if it's caught then he need to

come to original position if it's drop

he can move on to the next basis

anywhere

the situation would be different if

player is standing on some other base if

player is standing on third base what

would happen is he's going to wait until

ball is caught because now that ball is

caught he can move now

before ball is caught if he moves

anywhere he need to return to the base

where he started but now that ball is

caught he can run here and he know

there's no way this player can throw

ball before he can reach so he's gonna

run here

and he's able to do it depending upon

where you are you need to make those

adjustments so it's a very conscious

sport people need to be aware of what is

happening let's talk about double play

what is double play so consider this

scenario there's a player on first base

and the second player is batting pitcher

threw the ball ball went to one of the

fielders now here if this player can go

to base two

and he can get the ball before player

one reaches to the base then player one

is out and then if he can throw the ball

to the first base before player two

reaches then he's also out so because

you got two outs it's called double play

let's take a look at the home run the

most fun part of the baseball if a ball

is thrown and hitter hits it outside

let's take a look in the stadium if a

ball is thrown and it's hit outside then

it's called a home run remember you

would see your outfield fence the ball

should go above the outfield fence to be

able to make a home run

in home run what happens is everyone

would get enough time to run all the

bases here you see there are four

players and because everyone was able to

reach to the home base they would get

four runs if there were two players and

the home run they get two run if three

three one one home run happens less

frequently but whenever it happens it's

a lot of fun everyone cheers up and it's

it's really good to see this let's

understand from high level when the team

is batting they get three outs if a team

gets three outs their inning is over and

then other team would come to bat and

they would need to feel so then team b

comes and bats so they also get three

outs these are called half innings

combined it's called one inning so in

one inning they would have six outs

another way of saying is in first inning

you have a top half and bottom half in

the top half a team is batting and b is

fielding and then they would do the

bottom half where b would bat in a wood

field this would comprise of one inning

in the second inning they'll do the same

thing again in the first or the top half

a would bat and in the bottom half a

wood ball so they do this for nine

innings and whoever has more score at

the end wins the match here after one

ending the score is zero after second

aiming a is code one b score two so the

score is one and two at the end of nine

inning they look at the score so a has

five points a one the match if it's a

tie then they keep on going one more

inning one more inning until they have a

winner it's a long game it's for three

hours and they throw on an average 300

pitches so it's a lot of fun to watch

baseball it's a long game a lot of

things can happen now let's take a look

at the real match so how are you going

to read a score if you're watching match

on the tv this is what you're gonna see

on the right bottom or the left bottom

so let's take a deeper look into it so

what is happening here what does it

really show it's because it's the

beginning of the match the runs is zero

zero the triangle pointing upward is

showing l a a is batting first when the

triangle is down it's called bottom

meaning and then ny would be betting one

shows first inning because match has

just started zero shows the out so

because there's zero out at zero they

have three outs and then eating would

change

the first number shows balls so if one

two three and a four ball they get a

walk the second number shows strike if

three strike then the player is out

these three square boxes so the first

second and third base

right now because match started nobody

is standing on the bases in case if

there's a player on first base the first

base is loaded then you would see

something like this

let's say you open up your tv and this

is what you're saying how to figure out

what is going in the match so if you see

the runs laa is having seven runs so

they are leading in the match if you

look at the triangle it's bottom so

bottom inning means ny is batting right

now l a has completed their batting in

the seventh inning so seventh inning is

going on

for ny they got two out so their last

batsman is batting if they get one more

out they'll

the evening would be over the two shows

two balls has been delivered to that

player and two strikes so he needs to

hit the ball if you get one more strike

this evening is over on the bases you

see this first and second is yellowish

which means there's a player standing on

first base and second base now if the

batter hits a home run imagine the

batter the player on the first base and

the player on the second base they would

get three runs so the ny would have

seven runs so it's a close game right

now la is leading but it's a close game

so that's how you can make it out from

the scoreboard how the match is going
