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
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.
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...
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.
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.
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!
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 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?
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 ...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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’).
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.
@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.
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!
@@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.
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.
Wooow !!! Thank you very much you were so helpful ,even if it was so defecult and there was so many rules but I think I quietly understand it . keep up the good work (y)
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
instead of focusing on your explanation, I cried my eyes out starting from " for an American" to "this is their pastime" imagining kids who are men now, dads who are old, some dead, others in nursing homes waiting for holidays so that they could see their sons and daughters.
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.
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!!
A very nice video :) a question: why is the short stop only located between the 2nd and 3rd? Wouldn`t the hitter then better aim for between the 1st and 2nd base?
Simon Rösch The third basemen and shortstop are on the left side of the infield while the first and second basemen are on the right side of the infield. That way, there are two guys on each side of the infield.
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..
@@res3382 r/woooosh
i’m on a baseball team and only took me 2 days to figure out all the rules and everything. that was last year.
ProgrammerPlays • No
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.

Best game ever. Not only for americans. Greetings from Germany

Wonder if I could do one of these for cricket...
+Subconcious ...DON'T BUY. ..ALL LINKS ARE BROKEN! !!
+TruScribeVideos i found it confusing because of your pace. way too past to get even some basic info down :(
Baseball is getting more and more complicated. Pitchers are getting faster, batters are getting stronger. It's all building up.
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
@@amyipdev As long as there's two teams on there no-one's gonna get mad :D
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.
Great job this is good for starters who want to know how to play baseball
Yes, like me
I never thought I'd hear a Scottish man say he was English
I like both Baseball and Cricket...... Both are wonderful and exciting sports !!!

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 introduction to baseball. maybe not for an initial learning, but a-ok for a first insight. and the cartoons are awesome!
i miss baseball.. it's like 3 years i don't play it for a certain reason....i hope one day i could play it again....
Best explanation I could find. Really well done!
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
The drawing kept my attention throughout and made a boring topic easy to understand. Great job! SO good.
Awesome presentation !!! N nice pinch of humour !!!
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.
Great job u earned a subscriber!! Ur a great drawer and I know how to play now.. I love baseball!
Great video you covered pretty much all the basics and then some

Possibly coolest video ever. Period. I don't know how you ever drew that much. Must've taken forever! Thanks and GREAT JOB!!!
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!
This helped me understand Diamond No Ace. Thank you ^^
Must rewatch Moneyball now
i would also like to see the whiteboard in full after one of these videos!
Thank you very much. Cheers from Germany.
Thank you for sharing! Great sketches!
It's kinda nice to see someone who doesn't understand the game and tries too.
i love the pun at the end
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’re an amazing artist keep drawing!! Great video! Learned a lot, thanks!

This is amazing see. I often see people ridiculing baseball. But finally people are coming together to appreciate baseball. I love it.
Great video. Thanks from France
The guy holding up the bat in the beginning was doing Ness’ taunt
Really Amazing, I am new to baseball but your work clearly made me to understand about the game. Continue your work. Cheers bye

does it happen often that the baseball get a crack from hitting it too hard, and when this happen who is getting an out?
This replies to my questions. Many thanks from an European.
very well done! And... Thank u This is my first year playing baseball and u helped me a lot
