Batting

             Batting is one of the main parts of baseball. Batting allows you to score runs which gets you closer to winning the game. The game of baseball would be boring if no one hits the ball. In order to bat, a pitcher has to throw, or pitch, a ball to you. With your wooden or metal bat, you swing at the ball and try to hit it forward. If you hit the ball behind you, it is called a foul ball. If you hit the ball over the fence, it is an automatic homerun.If the ball hits you, its called a dead ball and you automatically go to first base.  Read my next post to learn about running after you hit the ball.
