Asking children to practice throwing through circular motion is an effective technique to make children experience natural momentum of sending the ball at specific target. Check occasionally if children throw with a circular motion by asking them to freeze after pulling the ball out of the glove. 2. Catching - Playing catch helps children appreciate baseball more and know the basics of safety in the game. Directing the ball To place the ball toward the first base, keep the right hand rigid while pushing the left hand forward. Bunting it to third base, keep the right ball like you had a glove on. Do not poke at it. (Do the opposite movements when you are a left-hander.) Bunting the strike If in the act of moving into a bunting position and the pitch looks like a ball, immediately yank the heavy end of the bat back. The bases are covered by their assigned personnel (first baseman at the first base, etc.) while the short stop covers the area between the second and the third base. The outfield (extension beyond the infield bordered by the first and third bases) is covered by the left, center, and right fielders. They will catch the ball going their way. Here are some quick overviews of baseball rules that commonly come up during games: 1. Batting The first rule is this: the visiting team bat first and the home team will bat second. In a case where all teams use the same fields, the home team is predetermined by league officials. If the home team has not been predetermined, a coin toss can be used by the umpire in chief to determine the home team. To achieve this goal, infielders perform different moves such as fielding bunts and catching fly balls. Infielders must also get an offensive player out by throwing the ball to the right base. That being said, infielders must learn baseball techniques to help their team win. The following are the rules and techniques that every infielder should know: 1. There is hit-and-run when the batter swings a pitch at the same time another runner on a base advances to get to the next base. An error is committed when a fielding player makes a bad throw to allow any batter or runner to advance to the succeeding bases. The pitching team should avoid this misplay.
