What are the rules of baseball?

The Game of Baseball is played between two teams, each composed of nine players, who take turns batting and playing the field. The objective is to score runs by hitting a ball and then running around four bases arranged in a diamond. The team with the most runs at the end of nine innings (or after a pre-determined number of innings) wins the game.

There are several basic rules governing play:
– The pitcher must throw the ball overhand and within reach of the batter.
– The batter must attempt to hit the ball when it is pitched.
– Once the ball is hit, the batter becomes a runner and must attempt to advance to first base before being called out (more on this below).
– Runners must attempt to advance around the bases, one base at a time. They can do so by either hitting another ball or forcing another player to make an error while trying to field their hit.
– Once a runner reaches home plate they score a run for their team.
