棒球规则英文版

There are 9 players in each team，and the two teams take turns to attack and defend。每队有9名队员，两队轮流攻防。The attacker will hit the ball thrown by the guard pitcher with the stick at home base in turn, and take the opportunity to run。进攻方将依次用球棒击中后卫投手投出的球，并趁机跑动。The attacker who can step over 1, 2 and 3 bases in turn and return to home base safely will get one point。依次跨过1、2、3垒，安全返回本垒的进攻方得1分。The defending team can touch the base runner of the attacking team or hold the ball to step on the base to "block" the base runner after intercepting and receiving the ball。防守队截球接球后，可触碰到进攻队的跑垒手或持球踏在跑垒手上“拦网”跑垒手。If the defending team catches the ball before the ball lands, it is called "the base runner is intercepted"。如果防守队在球落地前接住球，则称为“拦截垒跑者”。If the pitcher throws three "good" balls to the batter, the base runner is "three strikes out"。如果投手向击球手投出三个“好”球，那么跑垒手就是“三击出局”。When three attackers are "killed" out of the attack team, the two sides will exchange attack and defense。当三名袭击者被“击毙”出攻击队时，双方将进行攻防交锋。Two teams attack and defend once for a set, the official game for 9 sets, to score more wins。两队攻守一局，正式比赛为9局，取得更多胜利。The names of the defenders according to their defensive positions and responsibilities are as follows：根据防守位置和职责，防守队员名单如下：pitcher, catcher, 1 softer, 2 softer, 3 softer, shortstop, left fielder, center fielder and right fielder。投手，接球手，1软，2软，3软，游击手，左外野手，中外野手和右外野手。The attacking team is called the batter。When the ball is legally hit out of the boundary and has not been intercepted by the defenders on the field。进攻队被称为击球手。当球被合法地打出界外，并且没有被在场上的防守队员截住时。the batter shall be called the "batter"。击球手应称为“击球手”。When the pitcher throws four bad balls or lets the ball touch the runner's body。当投手投出四个坏球或让球碰到运动员的身体时。the runner "guarantees" the last base ("good" ball means that the pitcher puts the ball into the good area and the batter fails to hit the ball, "wipes the baseball"。跑步者“保证”最后一个垒（“好”球意味着投手把球投到好的区域，击球手没有击中球，“擦掉棒球”。"out of the boundary ball" and swings the bat in the air also belong to "good" ”In the ball category。“界外球”和在空中挥棒也属于“好球”范畴。"bad" means that the pitcher throws the ball out of the good zone and the batter does not swing the bat)。“坏”是指投手把球扔出好区，击球手不挥棒）。When a batter enters first base safely, he is called a base runner。当击球手安全进入一垒时，他被称为跑垒手。

Basic Baseball Rules

For young players and parents unfamiliar with the rules of baseball, here are the basic rules:

Batting, Outs, and Strikes

A youth baseball game usually consists of 6 innings. In each inning, each team will pitch and field while the other team bats. When the batting team gets 3 outs, the other team bats.

Outs

A batter is out when any of the following occur:

They get 3 strikes

They hit a ball that is caught before the ball hits the ground

The ball is thrown to the first-baseman and the first-baseman touches the base with their foot while the ball is in their glove or hand.

Any member of the fielding team tags the batter with the ball or the glove containing the ball before they get safely to 1st base.

Any member of the fielding team tags the batter with the ball or the glove containing the ball when the batter is on their way to 2nd base, 3rd base, or home.

Any base-runner is out if any of the following occur:

The base runner is forced out before arriving at the next base. (See Force Out vs. Tag Out below)

The base runner is tagged out while off base.

Strikes and Fouls

A batter may get a strike in 3 different ways:

A swing and a miss at a ball

A ball thrown into the strike zone that is not swung at but called a strike by the umpire

A ball hit "foul".

A "foul" ball is one that is hit so it rolls to the outside of the line from home plate to 1st base or outside the line from home plate to 3rd base. A ball that is hit within the two lines previously described is a "fair" ball. A batter never receives a 3rd and final strike for hitting a foul ball. If foul balls are hit after 2 strikes are obtained, the batter keeps batting. The exception is that if a foul hit ball (or fair ball) is caught before it strikes the ground, the batter is out.

The Strike Zone

The strike zone is approximately the width of the home plate (or a little wider) and has height from about the knees to the shoulders of the batter.  This zone will vary slightly among leagues and umpires. As mentioned in the previous paragraph, if the pitched ball is within the strike zone and the batter does not swing, the umpire will call a strike.

Balls and Walks

If the pitcher pitches to an area outside the "strike zone" that is called a "ball" by the umpire and the batter does not swing, this will count as a "ball". If the batter is awarded 4 balls before striking out or getting out in any other way, they will be given a "walk". In a walk, the batter is allowed to safely proceed to first base.

Running the Bases

After a batter hits a fair ball, they will attempt to do one of the following:

Run to 1st base only.

Run to 1st base, then 2nd base (called a double).

Continue past 2nd base and run to 3rd base (called a triple).

Continue past 3rd base to home plate (called a home run).

In addition, any previous batters that are on one of the bases may advance to subsequent bases and finally home. A run is scored for each player of the batting team successfully reaching home plate.

Over-Running the Bases

After a fair ball is hit, the batter proceeds to run to first base. If the batter is only going to run to first base, they are allowed to overrun the first base and are "safe" if they touch base before the first-baseman catches the ball while standing on base. The batter is still safe even if they are off base, provided they run straight past the first base and turn to their right.  If the batter, however, tags first base and rounds the corner to 2nd base, they may be tagged out if they are not successful! Also, players running from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd base may always be tagged out if they overrun the base and the 2nd or 3rd baseman tags them. So in summary, overrunning a base without danger of being tagged out is only allowed for a batter running straight past first base.

Tagging Runners Out

Any player of the fielding team may tag any runner out by touching the player with the ball in hand or the glove containing the ball provided the runner is off base with exception of the first base over-run covered in the previous paragraph.

Force-Out vs. Tag-Out Situations

Two runners of the batting team can not occupy a base at the same time.  This means that if there is a runner at 1st base and the next batter hits a fair ball, this runner on 1st must advance to at least 2nd base. This is known as a "force out at 2nd" situation. If this is the case,  the second baseman only has to tag the base before the runner arrives, rather than tag the runner. If the second baseman has enough time, they may even throw to first base to get the hitter out as well - if successful, this is known as a "double play".  In a "bases loaded" situation with runners at each base, a force out is possible at 1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base, or home since all of the runners and batters are forced to advance to the next base.   On the other hand, if a runner is already at 2nd base with 3rd base empty and the ball is hit, the 2nd base runner trying to reach 3rd may only be tagged out by actually tagging with the ball (as opposed to simply tagging base).  This last case is a "tag out" situation.  So in summary, if a runner is forced to advance, a force out is possible. If a runner is not forced to advance, they must be tagged out. A force-out on the batter is always possible at first base.

Rule Concerning Runs Scored When 3rd Out Is Made

All runs scored before the 3rd out is actually obtained will count if the third out occurs in a tag-out situation.  So for example, if there are two outs and runners at 2nd and 3rd and the batter hits a ball that results in the 2nd base runner being tagged out at 3rd for the 3rd out yet the 3rd base runner made it home before the actual out was made, the run would count.  If on the other hand, the runner made it home after the 3rd out was actually made, the run would not count. If the 3rd out occurred on a force-out situation, the run at home would not count, even if it was achieved before the 3rd out was made.

Rules Concerning Pop Fly Balls

A "pop fly ball" is a ball hit into the air so a fielder can catch it before it hits the ground.  If a pop fly is caught before it hits the ground, the batter is automatically out.  In addition, any runners that start to advance to another base before the ball is caught are out if the ball is thrown back to the baseman and the baseman tags the base with his/her foot before the runner returns back to base.  So for example, a pop fly is hit. While the fly ball is in the air, a runner on 2nd base advances to 3rd. The ball is caught and thrown back to the 2nd baseman and he/she tags base before the runner can get back on base. The runner would be out.  A runner may "tag up" however, and then safely run to the next base.  "Tagging up" means the runner waits until after the fair-hit pop-fly ball is caught and then runs to the next base.  So, if our 2nd base runner had waits until the ball is caught before proceeding to 3rd base, the runner would be safe, provided they did not get tagged out at 3rd base.

Stealing Bases

In youth baseball leagues for ages 9 and below, stealing bases in generally not allowed although there are exceptions. For youth baseball leagues for ages 9-12, stealing bases is allowed. An existing runner may run to the next base after the pitch is thrown and arrives at the catcher, even if the ball is not hit. This is known as a steal. The pitching team may try to tag this runner out. This is a tag-out situation. Note that a runner may not steal on a ball hit foul - in this case the stealing runner is allowed to safely return to the original base. Also note that some leagues may allow stealing bases before the ball gets to the catcher.  Check your local rules.

图片无法详细解释棒球的规则，但能让你对场地、位置有个了解，配合着规则看吧。

Baseball is a sport played between two teams usually of nine players each. It is a bat-and-ball game in which a pitcher throws (pitches) a hard, fist-sized, leather-covered ball toward a batter on the opposing team. The batter attempts to hit the baseball with a tapered cylindrical bat, made of wood (as required in professional baseball) or a variety of other materials (as allowed in many nonprofessional games). A team scores runs only when batting, by advancing its players--primarily via hits, walks, and the opposition team's fielding errors--counterclockwise past a series of three markers called bases and touching home plate arranged at the corners of a ninety-foot square, or "diamond." The game, played without time restriction, is structured around nine segments called innings. In each inning, both teams are given the opportunity to bat and score runs; a team's half-inning ends when three outs are recorded against that team.

棒球规则 棒球运动规则并非人们想象的那么复杂，简单地说，就是投球，击球，接球。棒球比赛在两队之间进行，轮流进攻与防守。在9局比赛中，得分最多的队获胜。一队的三名投手都出局后，两队交换进攻与防守。如果两队在9局比赛中打平，还有加一局比赛，一直到分出胜负。攻方队员击球后跑垒,依次踏触一、二、三垒，最后安全踏触本垒的进攻得一分。棒球比赛中的得分大部分都是击球手先到一垒、然后依次跑垒到本垒得分的，但也有非常令人激动的本垒打情况。所谓本垒打就是击球员将球击出后(通常击出外野护栏)，击球员安全回到本垒叫本垒打。 击球员无失误安全上垒的击球叫安打，击球员在投手投出四个坏球后可自动上垒。场地比赛场地比赛场地是一个直角扇形区域，直角两边是区分界内地区和界外地区的边线。两边线以内为界内地区，两边线以外为界外地区。界内和界外(野传球线以内)地区都是比赛的有效地区。界内地区又分为内场和外场。内场呈正方形，四角各设置一个垒位。在尖角处的垒位是本垒，其余依逆时针方向分别为一垒、二垒和三垒。内场以外的界内地区为外场。比赛场地必须平整，不得有任何障碍物注：如果在规定的比赛有效场地内有观众和障碍物，或比赛有效场地不足规定的距离时，应曲裁判组根本情况定出临场规定并通知比赛双方。内场各个垒位之间有距离为27.43米。投手板的前沿中心和本垒尖角间的距离为18.44米。在本垒后面和两边线以外不少于18.29米处画野传球线，在此范围内为界外的比赛有效地区。两边线至少长76.20米。两边线顶端连结线的任何一点距本垒尖角都应不少于76.20米 棒球的英文规则介绍综合体育 另外给你推荐两个不错的网站： zxtp8.com (在地址栏中输入访问) kudy8.com (在地址栏中输入访问)

The GameA baseball/softball game is played by two teams who alternate between offense and defense. There are nine players on each side. The goal is to score more runs than the opponent, which is achieved by one circuit of four bases that are placed on the diamond.The EquipmentThe defense wears baseball/softball gloves, a leather contraption that fits on the hand, to catch the ball. A baseball is a white ball roughly three inches in diameter with red stitching. A softball is roughly twice as big, sometimes yellow (but no softer).The offense uses a bat, which is made of wood in the professional ranks, and likely made of aluminum or a metal composite at amateur levels. Almost all softball bats are aluminum or metal.The FieldThe part of the field closest to the bases is called the infield, and the grassy farther reaches is called the outfield.The bases are 90 feet apart on the diamond, closer in children's leagues and softball. Other fields are variable, and the outfield fences or the amount of “foul territory” - the amount of ground that borders the field between the long white lines that connect first base to home plate and third base to home plate – varies from field to field.Defense: The PositionsThere's a pitcher in the middle of the mound who initiates the action by throwing the ball toward home plate. The catcher catches the ball if it's not hit. The infielders are the first baseman, second baseman, shortstop (between second and third base) and the third baseman. There are three outfielders: The left fielder, center fielder and right fielder.The GameThere are nine innings in professional baseball games (sometimes fewer in lower levels), and each inning is divided in half to the top of the inning (when the visiting team hits and the home team plays defense) and the bottom of the inning (when the home team hits and the visiting team plays defense).Each team gets three outs in each half of the innings.On OffenseEach team has nine players in its batting order, and they must stick to that order throughout the game (players may substitute in for other players). A play begins with a batter waiting to hit a pitch from the pitcher. If the batter hits the ball into the field of play, the batter runs to first base and can run to as many bases as he or she deems fit without getting "out."A batter gets three strikes (a swing and a miss or a ball over the plate in what's deemed the “strike zone” by an umpire) or he or she is out. If there are four balls (a pitch that is not in the “strike zone”), the batter is automatically allowed to go to first base.When a batter begins running, he or she is then referred to as a "runner". Runners attempt to reach a base, where they are "safe" and can remain on the base until the next hitter comes up. The defensive players attempt to prevent this by putting the runners out using the ball; runners put out must leave the field.A batter gets a "hit" when he or she reaches a base without getting out, or forcing another runner to get out (and without the defense making an error). Runs are scored when a player completes a circuit of the diamond before there are three outs in the inning.If a players hits the ball over the outfield fence in fair territory (between the foul lines), it's a home run, and the batter can circle all four bases.On DefenseThere are many ways that the team on defense can get an offensive player out. Four common ways are:Strikeouts (hitter misses three pitches)Force outs (when, after the ball is hit, the defensive player with the ball reaches a base before the runner)Fly outs (when a player hits the ball in the air and it's caught by a defensive player before the ball hits the ground)Tag outs (when a runner is touched with the ball, or a glove with the ball in it)How Does Softball Differ?In fast-pitch softball, the pitcher throws the ball underhand instead over overhand, and the field is about 1/3 smaller all around. Games typically last only seven innings.On the championship/Olympic level, softball is a women's sport, but both sports are played by men and women throughout the world. Slow-pitch softball, when the pitch is underhand and lobbed, is generally played on a recreational basis.维基百科上有中英文的介绍，你可以看下
