College baseball

Hi there! College baseball is a type of sport that people play while they are in college. It is very similar to professional baseball, the kind that grown-ups play, but there are some differences.

In college baseball, there are two teams. One team gets to be the batters and the other team gets to be the fielders. The batters try to hit a ball that is thrown to them by the pitcher, and they try to run around all of the bases in a diamond shape before the fielders can catch the ball and tag them out.

College baseball is played on a field that is called a "diamond." The diamond has four bases: home plate, first base, second base, and third base. The fielders try to catch the ball and tag out the runners so that they do not get to advance around the bases.

There are some rules in college baseball that are different than in professional baseball. One of the biggest differences is that college games usually last fewer innings than professional games. College games also have different rules about when a game can end in a tie.

College baseball is a really fun sport to watch and play, and it helps students learn how to work together as a team.
