What does a pitcher do?
A pitcher throws a variety of pitches from the mound. He or She may throw a fastball, knuckleball, screwball, changeup, etc.... He or She may throw the ball fast or slow. Each pitch requires a different movement by the pitcher that the batter and others may not notice. When the ball is in play the pitcher is responsible for backing up the other players on many of the bases. The pitcher is needed for a back up play mainly at home plate. The pitcher's main responsibilities are to help back up the bases, stop runners from coming home, and try to strike out the batter.
What are the standard pitching rules in softball?
There are tons of rules, many I don't even know and I am a pitcher. I have been called on these: The play is over only when the pitcher has the ball on the mound in the circle. You cannot start a pitch then stop. You cannot throw the ball into your glove when on the mound, some umpires believe this looks like you are trying to pitch. You cannot alter the ball in any way- this includes rubbing it in the dirt. You cannot start your pitch in front of the rubber. When a batter is hit with the pitch, he/she automatically gets to go to first.

What are two outs in once baseball game?
When the defensive team in baseball, gets two players out in one play, it is called a double play. This usually occurs when the ball is hit between the second and third base. The short stop between the second and third base throws the ball to the second baseman, who gets the runner from first base out. Then the second baseman throws the ball to the first baseman, who gets the hitter out. There are other ways that a double play can occur, however, this is the most common way.
