Baseball in North and Central America follows a specific set of guidelines.

At a time, a team can have 9 players on the field playing defense and 9 players in their batting order.

Playing defensively in the field are:

-Right fielder

-Left fielder

-Center fielder

-3rd baseman

-2nd baseman

-1st baseman

-Shortstop

-Catcher

-Pitcher

When up to bat, there are differences when it comes to MLB. When games are played in a National League's team's ballpark, the pitcher bats. However, in the American League, pitchers are replaced by a designated hitter (DH) who does not play in the field on defense. There are 9 players in the batting order in both leagues.
