Baseball Fundamentals: Top FAQs
How many innings are in a baseball game?
A standard Major League Baseball (MLB) game consists of nine innings. Each inning is divided into two halves (the top and the bottom), giving both teams a chance to bat and play defense. If the score is tied after nine innings, the game goes into extra innings until a winner is decided. High school games and youth leagues typically play fewer innings, usually six or seven.
What is the distance between bases in baseball?
On a regulation MLB field, the distance between each base is exactly 90 feet, creating a perfect square diamond. The distance from the pitcher's mound to home plate is 60 feet, 6 inches. For younger age groups (like Little League), the base paths are scaled down and usually set to 60 feet.
What is the strike zone?
The strike zone is an invisible, three-dimensional box over home plate used by the umpire to determine if a pitch is a strike or a ball. Officially, it spans from the midpoint between the batter's shoulders and the top of their uniform pants down to the hollow beneath their kneecaps. The width of the zone corresponds strictly to the 17-inch width of home plate.
How do I measure my baseball glove size?
To find your correct glove size, take a flexible measuring tape and measure from the tip of your index finger, down along the palm, to the heel of the glove (where it meets your wrist). Most adult infielders use gloves between 11.25 and 11.75 inches for quicker ball transfers, while outfielders prefer larger gloves ranging from 12.5 to 13 inches for maximum reach.
What is the infield fly rule?
The infield fly rule is designed to prevent defensive players from intentionally dropping a pop-up to force an unfair double play. It takes effect when there are runners on first and second (or the bases are loaded) with fewer than two outs. If a batter hits a fair fly ball in the infield that a fielder can catch with "ordinary effort," the umpire calls the batter out immediately, and the base runners are no longer forced to advance.
What does a dropped third strike mean?
If a batter swings and misses at a third strike (or it's called a strike by the umpire), but the catcher drops the ball or it bounces in the dirt, the ball is still considered "in play." If first base is unoccupied (or if there are two outs), the batter can attempt to sprint to first base. The catcher must then throw the ball to first base or tag the batter before they reach the bag to officially record the out.
