Baseball

A bat-and-ball sport played between two teams of nine players. The objective is to score runs by hitting a pitched ball and advancing around four bases arranged in a diamond. Baseball features overhand pitching, 90-foot base paths, and larger playing fields compared to softball. Known as “America’s pastime,” it has professional leagues worldwide, including Major League Baseball ([MLB](https://www.mlb.com)), and the Japanese Nippon Professional Baseball Organization ([NPB](https://npb.jp/eng)).
