Softball

This is the number of times a batter gets up to bat. Meaning each time a batter goes to the plate and either gets a hit, takes a walk or makes an out.

Baseball is a bat-and-ball sport played between two teams of nine players each. The aim is to score runs by hitting a thrown ball with a bat and touching a series of four bases arranged at the corners of a ninety-foot diamond. Players on the batting team take turns hitting against the pitcher of the fielding team, which tries to stop them from scoring runs by getting hitters out in any of several ways. A player on the batting team can stop at any of the bases and later advance via a teammate's hit or other means. The teams switch between batting and fielding whenever the fielding team records three outs. One turn at bat for each team constitutes an inning and nine innings make up a professional game. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins.

Evolving from older bat-and-ball games, an early form of baseball was being played in England by the mid-eighteenth century. This game was brought by immigrants to North America, where the modern version developed. By the late nineteenth century, baseball was widely recognized as the national sport of the United States. Baseball is now popular in North America, parts of Central and South America and the Caribbean, and parts of East Asia.

In North America, professional Major League Baseball (MLB) teams are divided into the National League (NL) and American League (AL), each with three divisions: East, West, and Central. The major league champion is determined by playoffs that culminate in the World Series. Four teams make the playoffs from each league: the three regular season division winners, plus one wild cardteam. Baseball is the leading team sport in both Japan and Cuba, and the top level of play is similarly split between two leagues: Japan's Central League and Pacific League; Cuba's West League and East League. In the National and Central leagues, the pitcher is required to bat, per the traditional rules. In the American, Pacific, and both Cuban leagues, there is a tenth player, a designated hitter, who bats for the pitcher. Each top-level team has a farm system of one or more minor league teams.

According to http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0113430.html, the batter's box is 4 feet X 6 feet. In major league baseball the batters box is 60 inches long and 40 inches wide.

well i can not really answer this because many people try various ways to pitch accurately i am a pitcher myself and i go to a pitching coach. if you want to pitch accurately, i suggest you go to a pitching coach.

Although one should ultimately consult the rules book for the association under which the game is being played, U12 softball is usually played under the standard dimensions of a varsity-level softball field. Some associations recommend a shorter home run fence and pitching distance, however.

The field dimensions are as follows:

-40 foot pitching distance measured from the back point of the white part of home plate (not the black part) to the front center of the pitching rubber.

-60 foot base distances measured to the outside corners of first and third, and the center of second.

-180-200 foot recommended home run fence distance

-84 feet and 10.25 inches distance between the back corners of first and third and the back point of the white part of the plate to the middle of second.

-The arc around the infield/outfield boundary is recommended to be a 60-65 foot arc from the front center of the pitching rubber.

-Batters' boxes are measured 6 inches from the plate, are 7 by 3 foot boxes, and should be marked so that 3 feet of the box are behind the center of home plate and 4 feet are in front.

yes

This is just my opinion but, I think softball is better. This is just my answer because I am a softball player who can't dance. I live softball. Aside from me, I think softball is better because it is more of a rush and it is just so fun. It is your opinion tough. I guess it depends on if you are more of a girly girl who likes putting on makeup and getting all dressed up, or if you are more of a ton boy who likes getting dirty and likes being out in the sun.

Say the ball was hit to the shortstop (6) and was thrown to the first baseman (3) for an out. You would write 6-3 inside the picture of the field, the write a 1 with a circle around it to record that an out had been made. If a player makes an error, lets say the shortstop, then it would be recorded 6e-3. It would only be recorded this way if the player made it safely to the base. If the player was still out it would no be considered an error.

The only ones I know of are at Humboldt Park and Mozart Park.

The 5 skills you should have are catching, throwing, batting, fielding and base running. Pitching is a specialized skill.

I assume you are referring to the international tie breaking procedure. It can be used as a state adoption. Please check with your states high school athletic association to see if they have adopted the rule.

The NSA ( National Softball Association) should have postings, just Google NSA travel teams

There are several muscles working when pitching. Starts of with the abductor muscles when striding. leg muscles such as the calf, quads and hamstring work when push of happens. then shoulder girdle, lats and biceps work as arms rotate. Core muscles work for rotation
