Baseball Rules and Regulations

In professional baseball, yes. In some high school and college rules, no. Local/state high school associations make some special rules that are different than those used in professional baseball.

Yes, there is no uncaught third strike rule when there are two outs. Additionally, there is no infield fly rule when there are two outs. Both the uncaught third strike rule and infield fly rule are only in effect when there are zero or one outs.

my son is 9 yrs old and is averaging 40 MPH from 46' w/o pitching from a mound or rubber. I was wondering the same thing. Ultimately the strikes are going to make the difference.

9yr old avg 44-49 mph

9yr old above avg 50-55 mph

9yr old excellent 55-61 mph

Monopoly the old version

hope this helps u from lolly pop

There is no 4th base. There is Home "Plate".

As many as possible, but the record is 11.

TO UPDATE THE PERSON'S POST ABOVE: MLB Rules state that a condition for a "save" is that the pitcher is not eligible for a "win". As such, a relief pitcher entering the game prior to the 5th as a reliever would get credit for the win, with no save allocated. If a pitcher pitches 6 innings and leaves the mound with the lead to field another position, then returns in the 9th to close, he remains credited with the win (if his score holds) with no save allocated.

As for a team taking the lead with a pinch-hitter for a pitcher, the actual change of pitcher of record does not take effect until the next pitcher "takes the mound". Though the pitcher is removed for a pinch-hitter, the performance of the team will affect his ability to win the game. In other words, if the pitcher leaves the game while his team is on offense with the lead, he can only earn a win or a no decision. If he leaves the game while his team is on offense with a tie or behind, he can win, lose, or have a no-decision, depending on what the score is when the next pitcher takes the mound.

It's a piece of protective equipment the catcher (and the home plate umpire) wears to keep from being struck in the face by the ball.

There are 54 outs in a regulation baseball game if the visiting team wins the game. There could be as few as 51 outs if the home team wins the game, or anywhere between 51 to 53 outs if the home team wins the game in their last at bat.

Each team plays 162 games per season. There are 30 teams, and each game has two teams, so the total number of games played by all teams is 162 x 15 = 2,430.

You can score from second base several ways. First, you can score on a single if it is hit far enough. You can also score on an error. You can steal third and make it home on a bunt or a hit. You can reach home from second base with a sacrifice hit, or an extra base hit by the batter.

MLB rule 6.06 states:

A batter is out for illegal action when-

He hits a ball with one or both feet on the ground entirely outside the batter's box.

Comment: If a batter hits a ball fair or foul while out of the batter's box, he shall be called out.

If time has been called, a manager, all of his coaches, and any number of players from the field of play could, in theory, come to the mound to converse with the pitcher and each other. You will probably note that, when this happens, the umpire also comes there, in order to ensure they are actually discussing baseball strategy and not trying to stall.

Note, however, that a non-player can come to the mound only once per inning -- if either a coach OR a manager does so in an inning, the pitcher must be removed.

The high school mercy rule in baseball says that if 5 innings occurred and a team is ahead by 10 runs, the game is over. A mercy rule is used so that one team doesnÃ?t feel humiliated by a loss.

The four divisions in each conference.6 teams from each conference makes the playoffs the four division winners get playoff spots.then the 2 best teams not including the division winners in the whole conference get wildcard spots.The 2 best teams in each conference get a week off in the playoffs and a automatic home game, while the overall best team in the conference gets all their games at home not including the Super Bowl. Unless the Super Bowl is in their stadium, which is possible to happen.

Match-ups are based on records.Wild card Round: Team with 6th best VS Team with 3rd best record Team with 5th best VS team with 4th best record 1st best record and 2nd best record get week off.

Divisional Round: Team with lowest record faces Team with best record, Team with 2nd best record faces the other.

Championship: 2 Teams that win divisional round best record team gets Home Field Advantage if team without home field losses in the previous round, teams that win advance to the Super Bowl.

The earliest Baseball bases were circular objects of all kinds, including plates, which suggested "home plate" itself. So the word dish continues the analogy, even though bases are no longer round.

Runners high is produced by an extreme sense of euphoria as a product of the nervous system processing extreme fatigue and dehydration. Most running coaches recommend abstaining for 24 hours prior to a run.

If a game is past 5 innings it is considered an official game (or if the home team is winning and they are playing the bottom of the 5th, this would also be an official game) -- if a team is winning at that time they get the win and all stats are recorded. If the game is in the 5th (other then noted above) the game is started as a new game with no stats recorded. If the game is after the 5th inning and the game is tied, the game will pick up exactly where they left off with all stats official. In the event that this happens during the middle of an inning or even an at-bat, when play resumes the count will remain the same when the resume

** If the game is "official" and past 5 innings, It will revert back to the last inning completed, i.e if a game is "called" in the middle of the 7th (assuming they dont resume the game) the game will revert back to the end of the 6th and the team winning will have won the game

If the batter reaches base as the result of a Wild Pitch, and he later scores, it would be an Earned Run. However, if he reaches base as the result of a Passed Ball, and he later scores, it would be an Unearned Run.

46 feet, which is the same for a Little League (up to age 12) baseball fields.

The runners lane going down the first base line is 45 feet long and 3 feet wide, begins halfway down the line and ends at first base.
