Baseball Pitch

It is more than a game!

The pitch or field is like a diamond consisting of three bases and a home plate.The game is played on a field whose primary boundaries are calledthe foul lines. Inside the foul lines we have the fair territory.The pitcher's mound is in the middle of the field, with a rectangular rubberplate (the rubber) at its center. This is where the pitcher stands whenthrowing the pitch.Home plate, formally designated home base in the rules, is the final basethat a player must touch to score.The catcher stands on the home plate ,when a runner tries to score a run hemust tag the runner with the ball before the runner touches the home plate.The batter boxis where the batter stands when ready to receive a pitch fromthe pitcher.The other three corners of the square, in anticlockwise order from home plate,are called first base, second base, and third base.
