All about Baseball
In baseball, a pitcher throws the ball towards a batter, who tries to hit it into the field. The batter then runs around four bases to score a run. Teams have nine players and play nine innings, switching between batting and fielding.
Baseball is especially popular in the USA, Japan and parts of Latin America. It develops hand-eye coordination, timing and teamwork, and it is a favourite sport for many young players.
