What is the height of a Little League pitcher?
Honestly, it varies. I've seen short little league pitchers that are the best. But speaking from what experts would say, the upper 5 feet, 5'8, 5'9, etc. Less then that as well, though. If your a little league pitcher, or your son is, don't let the lack of height get you down. Anything is possible.

What dugout does the visiting team sit in during a baseball game?
Their own. Generally if they sit in the home team's dugout, there's bound to be a fight or two. Seriously, it varies from stadium to stadium. Often the home team is on the 3rd base side, with the visitors across at 1st base. But there's no hard and fast rule. Sarcasm does not seem appropriate for answering a question.

Do you score a run when a defensive player crosses home plate in baseball?
If the third out is a force play or a fly out, a run can not score, no matter how soon a runner crosses home before that third out.
If the batter hits the ball over the outfielder's head with runners on first and third, and the runner on first constantly slips and falls as he runs to second, the fact that the batter got to first and the runner on third got home several seconds before the runner going to second was forced out, is just too bad. It's still a force out, and no run scores.
Can high school catchers wear skull caps?
No. Skull caps with masks are not legal under NFHS (high school) rules. Catchers must wear masks that are NOCSAE approved, carry the embossed NOCSAE emblem, and provide dual ear protection. Masks and skull caps do not meet that standard.
Here's the rule.
Rule 1-5-4 . . . The catcher's helmet and mask combination shall meet the NOCSAE standard. Any helmet or helmet and mask combination shall have full ear protection (dual ear flaps). A throat protector, which is either a part of or attached to the catcher's mask, is mandatory. A throat protector shall adequately cover the throat. The commercially manufactured catcher's head, face and throat protection may be a one piece or multi-piece design.
That depends on a great many factors: for example, ticket prices, which tickets are sold (since the best seats generally cost more), the team's payroll for players and staff, food and beverage sales, etc.
How can you have more than three strikeouts in an inning?
In baseball, in order for a batter to be called out after the third strike, the catcher must catch the ball without it hitting the ground. If he does not, and there is no runner on first base, or there are two outs, the batter becomes a batter-runner. At this point, in order to make the out, the catcher must either tag the runner, or throw the ball to first for a force-out.
Regardless of the outcome of the play, the pitcher is still awarded a strike-out.
As an illustration, a pitcher can face two batters, and strike them both out. A third batter comes to the plate, receives three strikes against him, but due to an uncaught third strike, reach first. A fourth batter can then come to the plate, strike-out, and thus award the pitcher with his fourth strike-out in the inning.

How do you achieve the perfect baseball swing?
Well, there are many, many different views on this question. I think the main focus is to put the bat head (barrel) on the baseball in the shortest possible time(avoid long looping strokes). A good way that I have found to do this is to try to take the knob on the end of the handle to the baseball. It is nearly impossible (unless you purposefully go out of your way) to actually hit the baseball with the knob, the barrel will naturally come around and create bat speed, the most important thing (ask any major leaguer) in any swing, period.
Who are the two people at home plate in baseball?
i believe that the two people at home plate are aptly named the umpire and the catcher. the umpires job is too call the game by either calling a strike, safe, out, ball, or batter walks. the catchers job is to receive the ball from anyone of the players on his/her team and try to get the runner out
