If the sport of rounders was the Liverpool and Scottish Rounders Association, formed in 1889, And if Alexander Cartwright created Baseball in 1845 then it first originated in the US. Besides the field and rules are so different, yes they both use bats, balls, bases, with rounders or cricket it has an oval shape Field, but with Baseball is diamond shape, one batter at a time, use cylinder shaped bat, not flat. Baseball uses gloves, has fouls lines, yes the idea Baseball might have been influenced by Cricket & Rounders, But all and all Baseball is an American sport.
