This is a spelling convention that helps the reader with pronunciation. The 2 yuds are usually only used when writing without vowels though. The Hebrew word for Baseball would use 1 Yud with vowels, or 2 Yuds without:
בֵּיסְבּוֹל or בייסבולWithout the 2 Yuds, it might look like BEESSBOL (ביסבול)And sometimes, a word like baseball becomes so common, that even when they add the vowels back in, it is still written with 2 Yuds. (בֵּייסְבּוֹל)
