Pre sportive games

Baseball: Baseball is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of nine players each, who take turns batting and fielding.

The batting team attempts to score runs by hitting a ball that is thrown by the pitcher with a bat swung by the batter, then running counter-clockwise around a series of four bases: first, second, third, and home plate. A run is scored when a player advances around the bases and returns to home plate.

• eight position players—catcher, four infielders, three outfielders—who play on a regular basis

• five starting pitchers who constitute the team's pitching rotation or starting rotation

• six relief pitchers, including one specialist closer, who constitute the team's bullpen (named for the off-field area where pitchers warm up)

• one backup, or substitute, catcher

• two backup infielders

• two backup outfielders

• one specialist pinch hitter, or a second backup catcher, or a seventh reliever

In the American League and others with the DH rule, there will usually be nine offensive regulars (including the DH), five starting pitchers, seven or eight relievers, a backup catcher and two or three other reserves; the need for late inning pinch-hitters (usually in the pitcher's spot) is reduced by the DH.
