Batting
• The ball is not pitched in Aussie T-Ball - instead it is batted from a tee.
• A hitter may have as many swings as they require in hitting the ball into fair territory.
• A player is out when:
- A batted ball is caught on the full.
- A player in possession of the ball stands on the base before the runner arrives.
- A runner between bases is tagged by a fielder with the glove
or hand which is holding the ball.
• An inning is completed when every player on the batting team has completed a turn at bat.
• Each inning the leadoff hitter becomes the sixth hitter in the next inning and subsequent
hitters will move up one spot in the line up so that every hitter has the chance to lead off
an inning.
Fielding
•
All fielders rotate fielding positions each innings in the following manner:
- pitcher becomes catcher
- catcher becomes 1st base
- 1st
