Rules of the Game
If you’ve ever sat at a baseball game and thought, “Wait, what just happened?” you’re not alone. Baseball is full of traditions, jargon, and quirky rules, but at its core, it’s actually pretty simple. This page breaks it down so you can follow along and enjoy the game, whether you’re a new fan or just want a refresher.
The Basics
Baseball is played between two teams of nine players plus a designated hitter.
Each team takes turns playing offense (batting) and defense (fielding).
The game is made up of nine innings. Each inning has a top (visiting team bats) and a bottom (home team bats).
Scoring Runs
The goal is to score runs. A player scores a run by:
Hitting the ball
Running around first, second, third base, and then crossing home plate
