I'm from India and brought up on cricket too. Cricket is wonderful sport and so is baseball

Agree!

You are very open minded. Most cricket fans stick their noses up at baseball

I'll take that as a compliment, welcome to gym class, hah.

Corona Football Someone needs to LEARN you English.

just because he said "teached"? isnt it enough that you got the point?? toxic.

@@philbrown9764 so do you

Alicia Lorandi Exactly, lol! Such instances of situational irony are priceless!

Lol 😂😂😂

your crush: *strikesout* you: NICE JOB BABE! *CLAP CLAP CLAP*

Hit and run is an actual play in baseball lol

the same reason im been here.the perfect anime to told you that baseball are played with your head😂😂

There's a playlist (but you may have already discovered that by now)

Fuck yeah, damn fucking right 👍

The batter and any runner scores on a homerun.

They all do steroids so obviously it’s physical. Watch any of these if you think it isn’t physical “mlb headshots” or “mlb home plate collisions” or “best mlb fights”

I would say dad jokes but as stated in the other video he’s not married, he be setting up quality jokes but at what cost.

3-0 counts means 3 balls and 0 strikes. If The next pitch is a strike it would become 3-1. If the count was 2-2 and the next pitch is a strike, then you are out because 3 strikes your out

Pitchers and batters are constantly upset with the home plate umpires ball/strike calls

+Ian Wakeham A swing and miss is always a strike no matter where the ball goes.

No matter what happens to the batter, the next batter always bats. It’s not like cricket where you can continuously bat. A “walk” is a good thing for the offense because the batter reached base, which is ultimately the goal, and he didn’t get out. You try to score as much as you can before 3 outs are made. A walk let’s you go to first base, and you must to first, second and third base and back to home for the run to count

If he hits the ball, he hits the ball. It doesn’t matter where the pitch was. It’s just you do t wanna do that because it’s very hard to hit a ball well that’s not in the strike zone

Anna F A walk is when the batter doesn't strikeout nor hits a fair ball. The pitcher can walk the batter by his own accord but if the batter is hit by the pitch, that is an automatic walk, regardless who is on what base. So you don't want to walk with a runner on 3rd.

The batter gets to go to first base, he cant be tagged out, if there is a runner on first he gets to go to 2nd base.The pitcher can intentional walk the batter or the batter doesnt swing at 4 pitches that are outside the strike zone this is called base on balls.

If the batter gets three strikes, he is out. He can either get a strike by swinging and missing, or by not swinging at a ball that is in the strike zone. There is a third way to get a strike, and that is by fouling a ball off - but these only count as strikes if there are less than 2 strikes. If the batter already has two strikes, a foul ball doesn't mean anything - unless the foul ball is a foul tip - and is caught by the catcher. If the batter does not swing at a ball, and it is not in the strike zone, it is a "ball". If the batter gets four balls, he gets a walk. The batter gets to go to first base and become a runner without having hit the ball.

The batter can swing at (and hit) any pitch, no matter where it is. If the batter swings and misses it's a strike, no matter whether it was in the strike zone or not.

The strike zone is only relevant for determining whether a pitch is a strike or not when the batter DOES NOT swing. A batter can swing at any pitch and hit it in play

If the batter swings and misses, it's always a strike.

Strike zone only matters on pitches the batter doesn’t swing to determine if it was a strike or not

technically, an intentional walk is still 4 pitches outside of the strike zone

new rule says they can just have the batter walk to first without throwing the ball 4 times outside the strike zone.

Yes, it pretty much is. If the batter doesn't run the defense will be able to easily tag the batter out or get him out at first base.

@@TheOnDeckCircle HAha we are familiar with a ''tooki run'' version of local amateur cricket!

Technically the umpire can start calling balls if a pitcher takes more than like 12 seconds between pitches when nobody is on base, but it's almost never used. If you watch footage of games from 30 years ago, they went much quicker so there was never an issue, players are just much slower between pitches now. There have been experiments in the minor leagues with pitch clocks over the last few years, but baseball historically takes a very long time to change any rules.

@@TheOnDeckCircle thank you so much ☺️

@@PrincePaulIowa baseball is timeless and limitless

For strike one and two, the catcher can drop a pitch and it can still be called a strike. For the third strike, the catcher does have to catch the ball to get the strikeout. If he drops the ball and there are no runners on first base, the batter can run, so the catcher can either pick up the ball and tag him out or throw the ball to first base. There are a few other scenarios he can run, but that's the most common.

No, a catcher can drop a called strike. All that matters if it passes thru the strike zone. If catcher drops 3rd strike tho the batter can try and run to first base

the runner is safe.

he’s out.

Youre right I dont know what I was thinking, the runner is safe only if its a ground ball and he beats the throw to the base.

If the ball is caught in the air, the timing of when the runner reaches first doesn't matter. It's an out.

Any ball caught in the air by anyone is an out. If there is two strikes and the batter foul tips the ball into the catchers glove, then yes, he would be out

The runner who was on first gets to go to second base, and the one who walks goes to first.

@@TheOnDeckCircle I see. That's twice as good. I thought only one of them got to move. I guess that means that all four players would move on a walk if all the bases were full?

@@Dirkschneider yes. But if there is runner on 1st and 3rd base, only the runner on 1st would move to second but the guy on 3rd base would have to stay there because there was nobody on 2nd to “force” him home

If he gets four balls he goes to first base, which is a 'Walk.' And the next batter comes up with a 0-0 count.

As a batter, you want to swing at good pitches. If you swing and miss, it's a strike. If you get three strikes, you are out, so you only want to swing at pitches you think you can hit. If the ball is way low/high or way outside/inside, it will be a ball anyway if you don't swing, so there is no point in swinging.

@@willoughbykrenzteinburg K that makes sense. But I am now very familiar with the sport. Thanks anyways though

@@jaspergillgannon4991 There is a strike zone in baseball. It is the width of home plate and goes from about the knees to the mid chest. There is an official definition, but different umpires will have slightly different zones. It is mostly common sense once you watch enough games. If a pitcher ball crosses the plate inside this strike zone, and the batter does not swing, it is still a strike. If the batter does not swing and the pitch is outside this zone, it is a ball. As I said before, if the batter gets three strikes, it is an out. If he does not swing at 4 balls (literal balls - as in outside the strike zone), his at bat is over and he gets to go to first. This is called a "base on balls" or a "walk". As far as scoring opportunities are concerned, a walk is the same thing as a single. A single being a hit that allows the batter to safely reach first base. So, there is a reward for not swinging at pitches outside the strike zone. Just realized you said you are NOW very familiar with the sport. I read it as NOT very familiar. Sorry if this was all common sense to you now.

@@willoughbykrenzteinburg Yeah it is, but hey whatever. If another beginner strolls by this comment, at least they'll learn something

Check my channel for the baseball playlist, it goes in order of the lessons, might make it easier. Good luck!

What kinda job is that?

Yes, you are correct. You can't strikeout on a foul ball, unless it has been bunted.

He did acknowledge that almost exactly in this video. Dunno how far you watched before you made this comment.

Watch “alex Cora foul balls” if you wanna see a long at bat

Haha. Same

Watch this video “Barry Bonds Pure Greatness”. He was by far the greatest player ever and that video shows his greatness. The last 5 minutes literally gives me goosebumps and tears.

Good question, I had to look it up. Turns out it was originally only a strike if you swung and missed, or you attempted to 'strike' at the ball and missed it. Back then the pitcher's job was basically to throw the ball where the batter told him to (and get out of the way). It would be a much different game.

@Josh Entertainment was in horrible mood xD thanks for the response, got it removed.

no

Easier yes, More entertaining no
