The Batting Of Baseball Scouts

Next up to bat is Tim. First pitch he hits right to the first baseman for out number 1. Jacob is up to bat with 1 out. First pitch is a ball but the person on second, Josh, is trying to steal third. Fortunately the catcher, Trent, threw a good throw, and caught him stealing and got him out. Jacob is still up to bat, and the next pitch is a line drive to the third baseman, David, but he had an amazing catch. At the end of the first inning the score is 0-0. So about at the end of the fifth inning, the score IS STILL 0-0. The bad news is that they only play 6 innings. Someone has to score. At the start of the 6th inning, the Indians have there number nine batter up which is Nathan. The first pitch is a strike. He did not swing at it. The next pitch is a strike. It is a swing and a miss. Next pitch is a strike but it is another miss. That is three strikes and that is one out. One out and here come the first batter on the batting order, Trent. He hits the first pitch right in between center field and left field for a double. Next up to bat is David. First pitch is a foul ball. Next pitch is another foul ball. The count is 0-2. The next pitch is a groundout to the second baseman. Next up to bat is Tyler. So there is 2 outs and all of the pressure is on. The first 2 pitches are a ball. Next pitch is a strike. The pitch after that is another strike. The count is 2-2. Next pitch is a

In each half of an inning one team bats while the other plays the field. If the score is tied after nine innings are over then the game is continued into extra innings and is concluded when one team is winning after an extra inning. These are the basic rules of baseball.

I’m standing on the home plate arms up with the bat my eye is on the Pitcher he’s about to throw I ready myself he throws! I hit the ball! High and far I’m running I pass first base the other team throws the ball to the second butt they miss the catch!! I just pass second base one more base to pass oh no they throw a fastball but wait! The catcher is off the base plate I keep running the player on the other team throws the ball I slide I wait did I make it or am I out?

The play at the plate, was a bang-bang play that saw Townsend slide into the plate and the ball arrived at catcher Jonah

1912--The New York Giants and Boston Red sox were tied in the 8th game of the World Series. Both teams won 3 games and this game would decide who would win the ninth World Series.Tied in the 10th inning, Fred Merkle, who had blown a pennant for the Giants four years earlier, got his revenge by hitting a single in a go-ahead run. It was 2-1 for in favor of the Giants going into the bottom of the 10th. Clyde Wood, the first batter to the plate, hit an easy fly ball into right field. However, Fred Snodgrass, the right fielder, missed it, and Wood ended up on second base with nobody out. Snodgrass made a great catch on the next batter, but Wood advanced to third base. Next, Steve Yerkes walked and put players on 1st and third. Tris Speaker lined a base hit to tie the game. Yerkes advanced to third and Speaker was on 1st with only one out. The 17,000 fans erupted with glee.

At the end of the eighth inning we pick up the game with Kansas City leading the Minnesota Twins one to zero. Steve, sitting on the bench in the corner with a towel over his head in the Kansas City Royals dugout as his team is batting in the eighth inning, has thoughts that go back to his Little League days when his father Joe Ballard would say. “Don’t worry about the batter, play pitch and catch with the catcher. That’s how to win a game from the pitcher’s mound.”

First , It is the world series of the 1960s the Pirates and the New York Yankees are in the first inning and the score is 13-3 and then they one and the next day

During the last game of baseball in Phippsburg, Turner was up to bat. He set his feet and readied himself for all the pitches that came his way from Willis. He hit each ball out of the field but they were all fouls. Then the last ball was pitched. Everyone was expecting him to hit it but he stepped back from the plate and took the last strike. Turner knew he could hit the ball and probably could have

PAR1 was playing in a local softball tournament. He stepped up to bat and hit a single. As the next batter came up PAR1 took a generous lead off first base. The batter then hit the ball into the outfield and PAR1 took off like a rocket. PAR1 was nearing second base when the ball was overthrow allowing PAR1 to proceed to third. Just as PAR1 was halfway between third and second base the catcher picked up the ball and throw it to the third baseman. Instantly PAR1 made a b-line for the second base, and found himself in a pickle situation. While the third baseman threw to the second baseman PAR1 revered his direction and went back for his attempt at third. At the same time the second baseman threw to third baseman, just a little high making the

It was tied three to three in the series. The Toronto Blue Jays vs. LA Dodgers. Star Jackson a center fielder, that is 6’2 and weighs 190 pounds, is the best player on the team. It was three days before game seven and Star is very nervous about the game. His mom and dad calm him down on the phone and say “It is just a game sweetie, whatever happens happens.”

Brooks Gosswein is on top of first base, eyes squinted and staring at the conference on the pitcher’s mound. The sun above the third base dugout blinds him, as he peers through the dirt, sweat and eye black caked on his face, fresh off a single up the middle. As the umpire walks to the mound, ensuring the mound visit is all but over, Brooks peers at the scoreboard: two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning with Waterdown High up by one. Brooks returns his focused gaze to find the pitcher is now matching his, as he pats his glove twice and toes in the rubber. He briefly pauses, before taking his usual five and a half foot lead, his eyes become intense, affixing on the pitcher’s body, as his fingers bend the leather of his batting gloves into a

They continued to do this for 15 minutes and switched to fly balls. Bob was hitting them and kept hitting them way over their heads. “C’mon Bob can you hit a fly ball?” Said Joe angrily “Sorry I just am so used to hitting home runs.” “Well this isn’t the home run

At the bottom of the 11th inning, as Encarnacion stepped onto the plate, Devon Travis and Josh Donaldson were already on base. Travis was on third, while Donaldson was on first. With one out already for the Jays, if Encarnacion hit this the Jays would have a walk off. And win.

Four bases, three outs, two teams, one winner. The love for a game will last forever; however, once the umpire calls strike three, the game becomes a simple memory. I am a softball player who plays year round for the Midwest Menace and in the spring for the Freeburg Midgets High School team. For a select team, you are distributed into age groups according to the day and year of birth: I play for the oldest age group known as 18u. At the beginning of the year, we hit a nail in the road which flattened our egos. Defeated by several no-naming teams put us on the lower end of the totem pole. As a consequence, the coaches made us run foul pole after foul pole. A foul pole is a punishment exercise in which the whole team has to run two-by-two along

. The batter hit a line drive the shortstop threw but it was too late ,safe the umpire said. The next batter came up he hit one right to me I leaped for and I caught it. I immediately got to see if the runner on base ran he stayed, I told myself good choice . The sun gleaming on my neck I started to sweat the next batter came up he hit to third. The third basemen got the grounder and threw to second then threw it to first double play the crowd went wild.ahhhhhahhhhhhhh! We were in the bullpen then coach said Jackie you're up next someone was on second base I got up to bat and I got hit in the face I immediately fell. I went to first base slowly I knew it was on purpose but it's going to take a lot more than getting hit by a pitch to take me down. The next people up at bat stroke the score steal 0-0. I told coach I couldn’t see that well so he took me out until the ninth inning. The score now 3-2 with two outs and a man on third NewYork winning by one. It’s my turn to bat and
