Defense
The fielding team will only get to bat if they can record 3 outs. An out is when the fielders either catch the ball before it hits the ground, throw the ball to first base before the batter gets there, tagging the runner when you have the ball, or striking out the batter. To strikeout a batter the pitcher must throw 3 strikes which are called by an umpire. There are 9 positions in baseball the Pitcher, the one who throws to the batter. The Catcher, he is the one who receives the pitches thrown by the pitcher. First Base he is the person who stands on first base and catches the ball to record an out.
