TALK ABOUT IMPROVING!
Even college players have room to
improve for example, Phil Maton a
senior pitcher for Louisiana Tech,
improved. The greatest improvements
of my first year was my accuracy my
mindset has been to hit spots low in
the zone and miss more barrels,

POSITIONS
There are seven positions in baseball witch are
pitcher, batter , shortstop , right fielder , left fielder ,
and outfielder.
Right fielders generally have the strongest arm
of all the outfielders. This is because they need to
make throws on runners trying to make third base.
Left fielders have to try to make throws on runners
trying to make second base. Out fielders have to
catch the ball when the batter when the batter hits it
if the runners trying to make second base they pass
to left fielders if they are trying to make third base
they pass to right fielder.
The pitcher is one of the main positions in
baseball because every play starts with the pitcher
the main job of the pitcher is to get the batter out. A
good pitch is delivered when the pitch passes
through the strike zone.
Another main position in baseball is the batter.
One main goal of the batter is to become a base
runner. The second purpose of a batter is to drive
runners home. Finally, they try advancing runners
along the bases to drive home.
HOW IT’S PLAYED/RULES
Like any other game, baseball also has some
rules to learn how it’s played. The rules are different
from any other sport, but they are very important.

One rule is that the catcher has to catch the ball if
the batter misses.
There need to be nine players on each team to
play baseball. One team has the defensive positions.
The other team has the infielders and batters.
When a batter hits the ball out of the stadium,
they are in a free home run. Likewise, if the
defensive position catches the ball, that ends an
inning. There are usually nine innings in one
baseball game.
Baseball is a fun and interesting sport only if you
fulfill its requirement. That is, proper equipment,
understanding of the game, following the rules and
have done lots of the above will have you love this
amazing sport,baseball!
