Awesome video. I was looking for a video to help explain the game to a non-American friend. Some more unwritten rules... don't steal a base when ahead by 5 runs after 5 innings... also don't watch your home run... you're likely to get plunked on your next at bat. Well done.
I never realized how complicated baseball was until someone asked me to explain a play on a clip channel, I sat at the keyboard a few minutes trying to figure out how to simplify the wording
Wow...that was pretty confusing. There are a lot of questions unanswered but I understand it was quite difficult to do. Wonder if I could do one of these for cricket...
Growing up playing and watching baseball, I never thought it very complicated. I can see now how complicated it would be for someone new to learn the game. You've got the basics here, but there are several more rules and much more by way of basic strategy. What was not very well explained was the basic curtesy used by baseball players. I have never even heard of some of the gestures mentioned. I guess those things are learned by experience though.
The innings part is a little tricky to fully explain. But theres 9 innings. Each inning is split into top and bottom. The top of the inning is for the visiting team to bat and the bottom of the inning is for the home team to bat. But if the home team is winning, the bottom of the 9th is not played and the home team wins.
@6:45, the Home team bats in the bottom of the inning. This is important because it means the home team bats last when they're behind in the score, or wins outright after the top of the 9th.
3:18 the pitcher stands on a thin rectangular "rubber" not a "diamond." Once he has the ball, he cannot take his dominant foot off of the rubber. If he does, it is a penalty called a "balk" and all runners advance one base.
I am from India..I was searching in Google to learn about baseball for a long time..but none really helped.. And Thank God you made this video..It really helped me a lot. Thank you uploader ...
Terrific! Wonderful just to hear the game explained by someone with another accent.Much appreciated! I hope you come to enjoy the game as much as we do.
I've tried to understand the nuances of baseball before, as a Brit...this was really helpful and very entertaining! Great job! I know people who know the game already may be grumpy about some of the detail, but for me starting from scratch, this was great! Thanks!
Thanks for the fun way to understand an American pastime. I enjoyed it. I am a little league coach, and this would be a great thing for my players to get a refresher.
Every rule has an exception, however… 3 good throws towards the batter (STRIKES) and the batter is OUT (strikesout). These throws are called ‘pitches’, because the person throwing the ball is the ‘Pitcher’. 4 bad pitches (BALLS) and the batter goes to first base automatically (WALK). After being hit, if the ball hits the ground, the defense must get the ball to the base (the white pillows you see) before the batter/runner gets to that base for an OUT (groundout). Had the defense caught the ball before it hit the ground, the batter is OUT (flyout). If the runner is touched by a defensive person (fielder) with the hand/glove that’s holding the ball, the runner is OUT (unless he/she is standing on a base, then the runner is still SAFE). 3 OUTS and the other team gets to bat (or ‘hit’...i.e...play offense). After each team has batted (accumulated three outs), that’s one INNING. After 9 innings, the game is over. The object of the game is to touch all the bases IN ORDER, i.e...first base second base, third base, then fourth base (right back where u started, fourth base is called ‘home plate’, or just ‘home’). That scores a point (called a ‘run’).
Awesome! Thanks for this. I shared this with my 17 year old daughter before she and I before I took her to her 1st professional baseball game with the CanAm League.
I bet you understand enough to follow along in a game - and the more you follow, the more you will pick up the little details. Is there any big area you have trouble with?
3:53 The runner/batter can still be marked for a hit if he gets out as long as he had reached first base safley. Ex: Getting thrown out going for a double is still a statistical hit but does not count for your on base percentage. Or a double
This is a pretty good basic explanation. To do a full explanation would take hours. I feel this is why baseball isn't as popular as other sports in America. I feel most Americans would know everything in this video but not fully understand everything that is happening at every second of the game. I played baseball my whole life and know the sport pretty well. To me watching baseball is like watching an intense chess match. There is so much strategy that goes into every piece of the game that most people wouldn't even notice. why is the pitcher throwing this pitch at this time, why are the fielders positioned in that place, etc. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask and I will try to answer as best I can.
Loved it, but can I make an observation? On the scoreboard, the home team is always on the bottom, so by referencing the "bottom of the 5th," the listener knows the inning AND what team is hitting, with much on-air efficiency. Great video.
It was well explained to what I remember about the sport when I was kid. And now I'm just refreshing my memory for the baseball camp in Germany for my church mission this summer. You did great and learned more rules that I didn't observe before esp the unspoken ones
I give props because it says that he learned all of this after seeing one game but i think this was a pretty great and informative video. Yes there was a few things wrong with the scoreboard, base directions and even how he described scoring or illustrating it, but it is baseball there is a reason why so many peoiple love the game it is not a easy game to play let alone even learn, so i give this person total props for making this video and actually making it well BASEBALL IS #1 SPORT EVER!!!!!!
Wonderful video! You did a great job explaining the basics. I will be sharing this with my new Australian friends in preparing them for their first American ball game but with one correction: on the scoreboard, the visiting team is always listed on the top and the home team is always on the bottom. And that's how the innings are referred to: top of the inning means the visiting team is at bat and the bottom of the inning means the home team is at bat. Thanks for a great video.
Thanks u explained it alot but u didnt tell what I was looking for maybe like a video on where the ball goes on basses im on my way to the llws this year ya thank u thank u!
You gave a very good basic understanding of baseball and your art is awesome! It was very clear and there wasn't anything confusing about the rules and methods that you explained about the game. I do understand that the game is evolving and many detailed aspects of its rules (written and unwritten) and methods could not be covered in a short video but hey that's understandable. Well Done sir! Btw I developed an interest in baseball after watching Moneyball. If anyone can suggest a good source to learn baseball (in theory) please do let me know. Thanks!!
WAW! loads of frustrations regarding Europeans ,just like Europeans have about Americans ;) but let me help u with that! Did you knew that in the "heart" of Europe there is no baseball winter training? well at least for kids it is not!games also get cancelled for the most pathetic reasons, superficiality in trainings;maybe that is why many coaches from here, move there! my son hates football and everything it stands for ,but adores baseball; he sais it is a smart game ;) that is how I ended up here ;))) we looked everywhere for a club for him but as it seems we must wait for the first bud to bloom ! thank you for the video! it is so confusing at first,I got only the courtesy rules :) but the more you watch ,the more it reveals! Also actually watching a game helps a lot! Thank you for your video!
@@OLBastholm the home team bats in the bottom half of the innings. If the home team has more runs than the visiting team going into the bottom of the ninth inning, the game is over as it's redundant to send them out to bat when they already have enough runs to win.
Great video!!! Have been playing baseball for ABCVE Dragons for nearly a year now, I needed to see this video before I started lol keep up the good work!
I still don't understand shit about this sport, but you're good at sketching. Keep it up.
Darly Souza what don't you get it ? It's easier than football lol
I like your work I’m working on baseball
I'd recommend searching up a youtube channel called "TheOnDeckCircle", he explains it slowly and clearly through a series of videos.

wow solving the rubik's cube is simpler than this
I can solve a 5x5 but I'm still kinda stuck on this video
May I ask what is so complicated? It's as obvious as oxygen..

i’m on a baseball team and only took me 2 days to figure out all the rules and everything. that was last year.

I’m a Scottish baseball fan, it’s pretty cool to hear a non baseball fan from my country talking about my favourite sport
Best game ever. Not only for americans. Greetings from Germany

great introduction to baseball. maybe not for an initial learning, but a-ok for a first insight. and the cartoons are awesome!

6:51: home and visitor are backwards, visiting team always bats first
Colin Lebold umm hes kinda new just lay off a little bit
sometimes the scoreboards are backwards, nothing to do about it

I never thought I'd hear a Scottish man say he was English
I just arrived in the US a couple weeks back and I’ve got a ticket to the Yankees vs Red Sox game in 3 days. I’d say this was fairly well explained.

oof wow... yeah, the game is complicated.
Props for a good video on an American sport, when not an American. My son thought it was pretty useful before playing for the first time. Thanks!
The drawing kept my attention throughout and made a boring topic easy to understand. Great job! SO good.

Must rewatch Moneyball now
i would also like to see the whiteboard in full after one of these videos!
Wow what an explanation. I can see how this would be way to0 confusing for a non baseball lover. However, it's my sport and LOVE it!!! #Baseball
U know a lot about baseball and u r a good artist!
Going for my 1st game today. Great Overview! Thanks a bunch!
You’re an amazing artist keep drawing!! Great video! Learned a lot, thanks!
thanks bro, i was not into baseball that much, right now after i understand the rules i see it as a very nice sport!
Great job u earned a subscriber!! Ur a great drawer and I know how to play now.. I love baseball!
Baseball is getting more and more complicated. Pitchers are getting faster, batters are getting stronger. It's all building up.
The guy holding up the bat in the beginning was doing Ness’ taunt
Thanks you helped me so much. I would and will recommend this to anybody who is having a hard time with baseball or softball.
Thx man For explaining about this game Just ordered a Baseball set!
Great effort dude!
I will show this to all my not knowing german friends!
Well Done!!
Possibly coolest video ever. Period. I don't know how you ever drew that much. Must've taken forever! Thanks and GREAT JOB!!!
This is great! Helped my 7 year old understand better :)
My cat now knows how to play baseball. Great video.
great video! really helped understand cause i have an attention disorder and i cant really pay attention if it was off of a book

This is amazing see. I often see people ridiculing baseball. But finally people are coming together to appreciate baseball. I love it.
This video made My family understand baseball

MAN YOUR AWESOME.... THANKS FOR THE COOL AND INFORMATIVE VIDEO... HELPED A LOT... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
i love the pun at the end
This is an awesome video. I have to explain baseball to a group of 6 year old cub scouts. This is the perfect video for me to show them. Thank you.
Great video! My boyfriend will be so impressed with the improvement of my baseball knowledge
Good video for beginners. Of course as a die hard baseball fan, I know there's more to the game, but this is a great start for people.
Thank you very much. Cheers from Germany.

It's kinda nice to see someone who doesn't understand the game and tries too.
OMG!!! No one ever explained it better!

you can also get to 1st base by being intentionally walked by the pitcher or you are hit by the pitch.
that's some good cartoon
Great video!!! Have been playing baseball for ABCVE Dragons for nearly a year now, I needed to see this video before I started lol keep up the good work!
So good! I understand it better now!
I gave thumbs up because you mentioned the Brewers
let me know if you're here to learn about baseball because you're working on "money ball" data analytics project
Thank you for sharing! Great sketches!
Very nice video :D
does it happen often that the baseball get a crack from hitting it too hard, and when this happen who is getting an out?
Awesome drawings. Super informative but some info left out but great video anyways!
That was a great introduction to baseball! Thanks for this video!
Very good and very good drawing but just one minor thing, its not about 90ft between bases its exactly 90 ft.
Just started getting into Baseball, great video, very informative
Thank you! Awesome explanation, great cartoons.
