1. Work as a team
1.1. Another main point to play baseball is you have to play as a team. If you can not play as a team you will not be very successful.
1.2. One way to work together as a team is when you turn a double play. A 6-4-3 double play is when the batter hits a ground ball to shortstop, the shortstop throws it to second and second tags second base, and then throws it to first.

2. Pitches
2.1. A pitcher is they player who delivers the baseball to the batter. The pitcher can have all different types of pitches. The three main pitches are fastball, change-up and curve-ball.
2.1.1. There are two types of fastballs, 4-seam and 2-seam. The 4-seam is the most common and when you throw it, it shows 4-seams. A 2-seam has more movement and tails away from the batter. When the pitcher throws it shows 2-seams instead of 4.
2.1.1.1. The curve-ball can be very effective if you throw it right. This pitch brakes away at the last minute to mess with the batters timing. Just be careful when you throw it, if you throw it too much it could mess up your elbow.
