You were the only person on this planet who made me understand the basics of baseball. Thanks!
Finally someone knows how to explain
Love the flowcharts
As someone who didn't grow up with Baseball, I was having trouble wrapping my head around the Strikezone, but I definitely understand it better now.
I'm English , and brought up on cricket . I think that baseball is a terrific sport !!
I'm from India and brought up on cricket too. Cricket is wonderful sport and so is baseball
Agree!
You are very open minded. Most cricket fans stick their noses up at baseball
I feel like I’m watching a Khan academy math video 😂
I'll take that as a compliment, welcome to gym class, hah.
Brilliant! As a Brit watching on UK TV that was was priceless - thank you.. I'll be back for more..
Your explanation is simply AMAZING. Thanks a ton for the flowchart. Thank you so much for taking the time out to explain this. I am sure it must have taken a lot of time to sync the audio over the action.
You already teached me Football and now im trying to learn Baseball. Your channel is great and youre explaining perfectly. Keep it up !!
Corona Football
Someone needs to LEARN you English.
just because he said "teached"? isnt it enough that you got the point?? toxic.
@@philbrown9764 so do you
Alicia Lorandi Exactly, lol! Such instances of situational irony are priceless!
Going to visit NYC next week and watch Yankees game while there. New to the game. Really helped me to understand the rules more. Thank you for making this!
I love when the ump yells "K!!!!" On the top of his lungs! 🤣🤣
by the way i cant explain how much more helpful this video is than any other channel that tries to explain baseball so thank you very much.
I'm grateful for this series on baseball. Thank you sir!
Thank you for this. I’m on my way to watch my crush play and maybe I won’t make a fool of myself. 😅
Lol 😂😂😂
your crush: *strikesout*
you: NICE JOB BABE! *CLAP CLAP CLAP*
Splendid. Exactly what one needs. Bravo!
Very logical, Very clear, I thought I was so stupid that I couldn't understand this sport, it proves how important a good way of explaining is!
I’m going to be a teen umpire and I have no clue abt anything baseball related and I am going to be a home plate ump in a few days and this helped a lot
I started to play the PC game Out of the park randomly, but was completly lost and had no idea about baseball or whats going on there. Very confusing the first time, some people randomly run around, sometimes stop suddenly, but still randomly and so on, but there is no point and so on... But now with your videos a lot of abbreviations, the wording, positions and the way of an played "Inning" makes much more sense. Thanks a lot for this videos and the work... well done and really useful! Great stuff!
here to understand an anime known as One Outs which is based on baseball and you explanation was pretty decent
the same reason im been here.the perfect anime to told you that baseball are played with your head😂😂
I am from india, we dont play this game, before watching this video i thought this game is just a hit and run..... But now every thing is clear... Thanku for the video
Hit and run is an actual play in baseball lol
As a frenchy trying to understand correctly the baseball rules I can tell you your video helped me a lot!!! Every young american boys and girls knows those rules and understand the game naturaly, but for us outside the USA that's not easy at all...
I wish you'd number these videos so I know what order to watch them in.
There's a playlist (but you may have already discovered that by now)
Excellent explanation, the only video that showed the steps in a very organized way. Great video!
Very useful, clear and straight forward. Thanks!
cool, man, the bestever baseball 101.
Wow brother perfect ..... you've explained it so well
1:12 I had to go and invert the colours out of curiosity😂
The best video ever on baseball rules. Hands down!
Thanks for this every easy tutorial. I fully understand your explanation here.
in the film ( 42 Jackie Robinson ) the pitch throw the ball and Jackie doesn't swing then is it strike?
and if the count 3 - 0 what will happen after 3 strikes?
3-0 counts means 3 balls and 0 strikes. If The next pitch is a strike it would become 3-1. If the count was 2-2 and the next pitch is a strike, then you are out because 3 strikes your out
Great series! Been watching a lot of MLB clips lately and finally had to lesrn the rules.
great job bro, finally i could learn baseball somewhere educative
Thank you very much for explaining! this was a very helpful video!
awesome guide. good work.
Couldyou please make a video about how 'run' happens and also about runners?
It will be also really appreciated if you could include everything about home run
The batter and any runner scores on a homerun.
This is so helpful and well explained! Thank you!!!
These videos are amazing. Thank you very much
Great video. So pleased I'm finally clear about what constitutes a proper shtrike ;)
Okay thanks I understand now, you’re really helpful
If the pitcher throws a ball out of the strike zone but the batter swings (and obviously misses)... it is ball or strike? And if the batter hits the ball?
The batter can swing at (and hit) any pitch, no matter where it is. If the batter swings and misses it's a strike, no matter whether it was in the strike zone or not.
The strike zone is only relevant for determining whether a pitch is a strike or not when the batter DOES NOT swing. A batter can swing at any pitch and hit it in play
Great teaching!
Great explanation. Kudos from India.
man you are brilliant, thanks for this.
This is great I can’t tell if he’s being intentionally funny but cmon, “To protect the younger demographic” has to be satire either way comedic value i aside it’s very educating.
Edit: The Count of Monte Cristo reference is just, I mean I know I’m supposed to be paying attention but acknowledging the jokes is important too though I mean the little effort is still work that went in, I can do both.
I would say dad jokes but as stated in the other video he’s not married, he be setting up quality jokes but at what cost.
I feel it's not a physical sport, but a mental one. Probably one of the reasons that it got canceled from the London Olympics.
They all do steroids so obviously it’s physical. Watch any of these if you think it isn’t physical “mlb headshots” or “mlb home plate collisions” or “best mlb fights”
Very informative. Thank you for this
waoh, for the very first time, i can say i can watch a baseball game and make some sense out of it, unlike before, when i just see people running aimlessly!
Very nicely explained, off to watch my second game.
This is very good.
I really like this video!!👍👍👍
fcking awesome explanation which makes the games twice more interesting now
Fuck yeah, damn fucking right 👍
If the batter misses, is it only a strike if the ball was in the strike zone or doesn''t the position of the ball matter? Is it simply the fact that he swung at a ball and missed count as a strike?
+Ian Wakeham A swing and miss is always a strike no matter where the ball goes.
what is the difference between a walk and an out. you dont bat anymore after any of these? and what are the implications in the game flow
No matter what happens to the batter, the next batter always bats. It’s not like cricket where you can continuously bat. A “walk” is a good thing for the offense because the batter reached base, which is ultimately the goal, and he didn’t get out. You try to score as much as you can before 3 outs are made. A walk let’s you go to first base, and you must to first, second and third base and back to home for the run to count
ThankYou from a ballers mum 👍🙏
Great teaching
Nice. Thanks. (also, how intricate can us people make easy games?)
I think the umpires have a very difficult job in baseball ! So they must be very good .
Pitchers and batters are constantly upset with the home plate umpires ball/strike calls
What happens if the pitcher throws outside the strike zone while the batter swings and hits the ball? Great video by the way.
If he hits the ball, he hits the ball. It doesn’t matter where the pitch was. It’s just you do t wanna do that because it’s very hard to hit a ball well that’s not in the strike zone
Good one , excellent
What if the batter hit the ball and does not run? I mean is it obligatory to run?
Yes, it pretty much is. If the batter doesn't run the defense will be able to easily tag the batter out or get him out at first base.
@@TheOnDeckCircle HAha we are familiar with a ''tooki run'' version of local amateur cricket!
Love this video!
Thanks
Good show
Why not game ⏰ as in basketball? What the story behind that?
Technically the umpire can start calling balls if a pitcher takes more than like 12 seconds between pitches when nobody is on base, but it's almost never used. If you watch footage of games from 30 years ago, they went much quicker so there was never an issue, players are just much slower between pitches now.
There have been experiments in the minor leagues with pitch clocks over the last few years, but baseball historically takes a very long time to change any rules.
@@TheOnDeckCircle thank you so much ☺️
@@PrincePaulIowa baseball is timeless and limitless
I just inverted the colours and yes it is scary
Hi, what if the batter swings and misses, but the ball is not in the strike zone. Is it a strike or a ball? Thanks
If the batter swings and misses, it's always a strike.
Strike zone only matters on pitches the batter doesn’t swing to determine if it was a strike or not
good explanation but the batter can walk if he is intentionally walked or is hit by the ball.
technically, an intentional walk is still 4 pitches outside of the strike zone
new rule says they can just have the batter walk to first without throwing the ball 4 times outside the strike zone.
Well explained.
You mention that foul balls are considered strikes, but I've heard this is not necessarily the case. "A batter can hit as many foul balls with two strikes (to infinity, although I don't think that has ever happened). The foul will count as a strike with less than two strikes, otherwise it will always be only strike two on a foul ball unless…He bunts foul he is called out if there’s already two strikes.The foul ball is caught in foul territory before hitting the ground, just like a pop fly it's an out.A foul tip if there is already two strikes, if the catcher catches the foul tip it’s strike three, out."
Yes, you are correct. You can't strikeout on a foul ball, unless it has been bunted.
He did acknowledge that almost exactly in this video. Dunno how far you watched before you made this comment.
Watch “alex Cora foul balls” if you wanna see a long at bat
You forgot to cover charging the mound on a bean. And clearing the dugouts.
Aaww need one more 😁
if its strikes two and you hit the next pitch with a foul.ball you will be considered out if the catcher catches the ball
Any ball caught in the air by anyone is an out. If there is two strikes and the batter foul tips the ball into the catchers glove, then yes, he would be out
good stuff
What does "walk" mean?
Anna F A walk is when the batter doesn't strikeout nor hits a fair ball. The pitcher can walk the batter by his own accord but if the batter is hit by the pitch, that is an automatic walk, regardless who is on what base. So you don't want to walk with a runner on 3rd.
The batter gets to go to first base, he cant be tagged out, if there is a runner on first he gets to go to 2nd base.The pitcher can intentional walk the batter or the batter doesnt swing at 4 pitches that are outside the strike zone this is called base on balls.
If the batter gets three strikes, he is out. He can either get a strike by swinging and missing, or by not swinging at a ball that is in the strike zone. There is a third way to get a strike, and that is by fouling a ball off - but these only count as strikes if there are less than 2 strikes. If the batter already has two strikes, a foul ball doesn't mean anything - unless the foul ball is a foul tip - and is caught by the catcher. If the batter does not swing at a ball, and it is not in the strike zone, it is a "ball". If the batter gets four balls, he gets a walk. The batter gets to go to first base and become a runner without having hit the ball.
For a strike to be called, does the ball have to be in the catchers hands?
For strike one and two, the catcher can drop a pitch and it can still be called a strike. For the third strike, the catcher does have to catch the ball to get the strikeout. If he drops the ball and there are no runners on first base, the batter can run, so the catcher can either pick up the ball and tag him out or throw the ball to first base. There are a few other scenarios he can run, but that's the most common.
No, a catcher can drop a called strike. All that matters if it passes thru the strike zone. If catcher drops 3rd strike tho the batter can try and run to first base
I'm here because mý new job requires I study about different sports including baseball. I cant understand the lecture during training and even when we watch the mlb play so here I am hoping for some understanding.
Check my channel for the baseball playlist, it goes in order of the lessons, might make it easier. Good luck!
What kinda job is that?
what happens if a batter hits a fly ball and then reaches first base before an infielder makes a catch?
the runner is safe.
he’s out.
Youre right I dont know what I was thinking, the runner is safe only if its a ground ball and he beats the throw to the base.
If the ball is caught in the air, the timing of when the runner reaches first doesn't matter. It's an out.
I'm still confused. Why would the batter not try to swing at the ball?
As a batter, you want to swing at good pitches. If you swing and miss, it's a strike. If you get three strikes, you are out, so you only want to swing at pitches you think you can hit. If the ball is way low/high or way outside/inside, it will be a ball anyway if you don't swing, so there is no point in swinging.
@@willoughbykrenzteinburg K that makes sense. But I am now very familiar with the sport. Thanks anyways though
@@jaspergillgannon4991 There is a strike zone in baseball. It is the width of home plate and goes from about the knees to the mid chest. There is an official definition, but different umpires will have slightly different zones. It is mostly common sense once you watch enough games.
If a pitcher ball crosses the plate inside this strike zone, and the batter does not swing, it is still a strike. If the batter does not swing and the pitch is outside this zone, it is a ball. As I said before, if the batter gets three strikes, it is an out. If he does not swing at 4 balls (literal balls - as in outside the strike zone), his at bat is over and he gets to go to first. This is called a "base on balls" or a "walk". As far as scoring opportunities are concerned, a walk is the same thing as a single. A single being a hit that allows the batter to safely reach first base. So, there is a reward for not swinging at pitches outside the strike zone.
Just realized you said you are NOW very familiar with the sport. I read it as NOT very familiar. Sorry if this was all common sense to you now.
@@willoughbykrenzteinburg Yeah it is, but hey whatever. If another beginner strolls by this comment, at least they'll learn something
man I thought American football is bullshit but now I'm starting to like it. can someone tell me who's the messi of baseball?
Watch this video “Barry Bonds Pure Greatness”. He was by far the greatest player ever and that video shows his greatness. The last 5 minutes literally gives me goosebumps and tears.
6:22 Strikeout
What happens on a Walk if there is already a player on first base?
The runner who was on first gets to go to second base, and the one who walks goes to first.
@@TheOnDeckCircle I see. That's twice as good. I thought only one of them got to move. I guess that means that all four players would move on a walk if all the bases were full?
@@Dirkschneider yes. But if there is runner on 1st and 3rd base, only the runner on 1st would move to second but the guy on 3rd base would have to stay there because there was nobody on 2nd to “force” him home
If a batter gets 4 balls do the strikes reset?
If he gets four balls he goes to first base, which is a 'Walk.' And the next batter comes up with a 0-0 count.
I am so confused.....
Why is it called a strike?
Good question, I had to look it up. Turns out it was originally only a strike if you swung and missed, or you attempted to 'strike' at the ball and missed it. Back then the pitcher's job was basically to throw the ball where the batter told him to (and get out of the way). It would be a much different game.
mmmh batter... cake... mmmh
i dont get it
I’m watching this because of one outs
Im here because One Outs stopped making sense anymore
Haha. Same
i don't even like sports why am i watching this
He didn’t want to switch the colors, because when the guy is black “he starts to look like the devil” and that “scares the younger demographic”... you see how that can be taken as problematic?
what the heck is a shtrike =)
@Josh Entertainment was in horrible mood xD thanks for the response, got it removed.
who Is here because of pe
just go and play cricket, thats a lot easy and entertaining haha
no
Easier yes, More entertaining no
