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.

In baseball, someone playing on the infield will stop the ball before it gets to the outfield. Depending on where it's hit, this could be the first baseman, second baseman, shortstop, or third baseman. Sometimes the pitcher even stops the ball before it has a chance to get through to the outfield.

i suggest try out for positions that fit you best like for example if you are well balanced and can catch well try out for catcher or pitcher if you can feild a ball well and can catch try out for 1st 2nd or 3rdshort stop is where you stand between 2nd and 3rd and you stop the ball before it goes into the outfield so you have to be a good feilder to play that position and outfeilders are just as well as infielders because you have to be able to catch popflies and stop the ball before it goes to the fence and the runner gets home so that is what i suggest for softball players


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.

If the ball goes out after you serve it in Volley Ball them the other team gets the point if they didn't touch it when you contacted the ball and it went over the net. But if the other opposing team touches the ball and it goes out of play then the other team gets the point when the ball was contacted from the other team and they couldn't get to the ball fast enough.


What is penalty for violating rule 4.03c in baseball?

Rule 4.03c deals with all players except the pitcher and the catcher being in fair territory before the ball is put into play. There is no penalty for violating this rule, but, an observant umpire will stop play and require the player or players to move to a legal position before putting the ball into play. Should a player or players be in an illegal position when the ball is put into play, the umpire shall call the ensuing play "dead" as if it did not occure.

What infield position should your best athlete play in softball?

Short stop and third base are probably the most difficult, excluding the pitcher and catcher. The shortstop gets the most action and has the most ground to cover, while the third baseman has the hot corner. This is where many very hard hit balls are hit.
