How do you get an out in baseball?

Answer 1

There are many ways. Some of the most common are as follows;

1. catching a batted ball in the air
2. tagging a runner
3. forcing a runner out
4. striking out a batter


Some of the less common ones are as follows;

1. Infield fly rule - (if there is a runner on any first, and if there is less than 2 outs, and the batter hits a pop up in the infield, the umpires can automatically call the batter out- this prevents the infielder from intentionally dropping the ball, and forcing the double play)

2. Dropped strike three - (if there is a two strike count, and if you swing and miss, and if the catcher drops the ball, you can run to first and try to beat the ball)
