The first time I watched a baseball game, I didn’t understand how to break it. Don’t worry, make up a little baseball knowledge first, and then you can understand coach Geng’s professional explanation ~
The legal number of players in a baseball game is at least 9. Baseball players are divided into offensive and defensive sides. They use bats and gloves to play in a diamond-shaped baseball field. In the game, the two teams attack alternately, and when the attacking player successfully runs back to home plate, he can get 1 point. The team with the highest score in nine innings wins.
【Understand the baseball game in two minutes】
(a) the venue
The playing field is a diamond-shaped area, and both sides of the right angle are the boundary lines that distinguish the in-bound area from the out-of-bounds area. Within the two sides of the line is the boundary area; Outside the two sides of the line is out of bounds. Both in-bound and out-of-bounds areas are effective areas for the competition. The boundary area is divided into infield and outfield. The infield is square, with one base at each corner. The base at the sharp corner on the same horizontal plane is home plate, and it is first base, second base and third base respectively in the counterclockwise direction. The area outside the infield is the outfield.
(2) Core rules
Baseball is divided into nine innings, and each inning has two halves.
The court is divided into two sides, the home team usually defends first and the visiting team attacks first. The next half-court offensive and defensive conversion.
The players who hit the field are the attackers (red below) and the rest are the defenders (blue below).
Both sides attack and defend once in each game, and the one who scores more points after 9 games wins. If the score is the same after 9 games, an extra game will be added until there is a game where the score is not the same.
(3) Basic technology
The basic skills of baseball consist of catching, passing, hitting and running.
(4) Little knowledge that must be known
scoreAfter hitting the ball, the attacker runs to the base and touches the first, second and third bases in turn, and finally touches the home plate safely, which is called "scoring".
drop outThe right of an attacking team member to be deprived of hitting the ball, running the base or scoring is called "out".
Strike zoneThe three-dimensional space between the upper edge of the knee and the armpit of the batter’s natural standing posture when hitting the ball is called the "strike zone".
HittingThe batter hit the ball where the defender couldn’t normally receive it and successfully ran to first base.
homerAfter the batter hits the ball from the other side (usually hitting the fence in the outfield), the batter runs through the first, second and third bases in turn and returns to home plate safely, which is a very wonderful climax moment in the baseball game.
Well, that’s all for the "cramming". If you want to experience the fun of baseball, you still have to swing and fly on the court ~ ~
