1. Baseball
The game of baseball is played between two teams of nine players each. Each team has three outs per inning and the last out of the inning is called a strikeout. A batter is allowed three strikes before being removed from the game. The first player at bat is known as the pitcher, who throws the ball towards the catcher. If the catcher catches the ball, he then hands it off to the second baseman. If the second baseman fails to catch the ball, he passes it to the shortstop. If the shortstop fails to catch the ball he gives it to the third baseman. The third baseman then attempts to hit the ball back to the pitcher. If the pitcher misses the ball, the batter gets a free base.
2. Batting average
Batting average is calculated by dividing the number of hits by the total number of times at bat.
3. Home runs
A home run is a single batted ball that travels over any fence beyond the outfield wall.
4. Runs scored
Runs scored is the number of bases a team scores while batting.
5. Strikeouts
Strikeouts occur when a batter swings at a pitch and does not make contact with the ball.
6. Stolen bases
Stolen bases occur when a runner takes a lead away from the opposing team.
7. Walks
Walks occur when a batter intentionally walks to force the opposing team's pitcher to throw a wild pitch.
