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.
