What exactly do the words out and safety mean in softball?

The terms "out" and "safe" in softball refer to the two types of decisions in the game.

"Out" means that three players are ruled out during the match, at which point the opportunity for that team to attack is over and the opponent will play the next round of attack.

"Safety" refers to the referee's determination that the runner has legally obtained the desired base, indicating that the runner is still in the game and is not eliminated until he is touched or killed.

The ball goes to the keeper before the runner reaches the bag, and the keeper touches the runner with a glove with the ball or directly with the ball, and the runner is out.

Conversely, if the runner touches the bag with his body first, it is safe.

Pitching: The defensive behavior of the pitcher who makes the batter miss three hits and go out by throwing the ball is called a pitch, and for the attacker, it is also called eating the "old K" or striking out.

A batting player misses the ball thrown three times.

After the bowler throws a good ball, the opposing batsman misses it, so that the three strikeouts are knocked out @

If you miss three good balls and miss three times, the batter will be ruled out.

Softball was less technically difficult and less intense than baseball, and later became a women's event. The birth of softball was entirely out of necessity, and due to the effects of bad weather and crowded cities, baseball was moved indoors, and softball was formed. Compared to baseball, one of the three major sports in the United States, softball requires a small field, a large ball, and a slow ball speed (because the rules of softball stipulate that the hand must be under the shoulder during the ball throwing).

Girls play baseball, and they look at the encyclopedia, and the rules and so on must be learned after watching the game or playing.

3 strikes will be out, strike: the thrower throws the ball between the shoulders and knees of the batsman, and the batsman does not hit the ball, it is counted as one strike, and three strikes are out; Or the thrower throws a good ball and the batsman knocks the ball out but is caught in the air by a member of the defending team. Or, the batter hits the ball out and runs to first base, but the defender passes the ball to first base before the batter hits the base, and the batter is out.

Successful base: The thrower throws four bad balls, and the batter can go to base; or the batter hits the ball and no one receives it, or the defender fails to pass the ball to first base and goes to base. If the batter hits the ball off the field, it counts as a strike, and the third strike hits the batter out of the field for another chance.

It's a basic rule that's hard to explain, the key is that you have to watch the game, have a play, don't be afraid of being embarrassed, and come and ask me if you don't understand.

You have to run except for home runs, and you can only get a point by going back to home plate through first base, second base, and third base in turn, and in the process of running, if the ball you hit is caught and passed to the base you haven't run to, you may be killed, of course, you have to run.

Of course, you have to run, because you have to score.

Softball and baseball are the same thing, after hitting the ball, there are a total of 3 bases in softball, as long as 1 attacking player can run 3 bases, one point is awarded.

Offensive and defensive activities.

Start of Play or "Play Resumed": An order to resume play when the referee announces the start of play or when a deadball situation is encountered.

Innings: The two sides of the game exchange offensive and defensive strips for each of the three outs, and each time is "one inning". When only one side has three players out and no exchange of offense and defense, it is a "half game". Safety: The referee's judgment that the runner legally obtains the base seat he wants to occupy is called "safety".

Scoring: The attacking team runs to the bases after hitting the ball and touches it in turn.

The offensive act of first, second, third base, and finally safely stepping on home plate is called "scoring".

Batting: The offensive act of a batter standing in the batting area and hitting the pitcher with a bat is called "batting".

Illegal Stroke: A ball struck by a batsman who takes any of the following actions is an "illegal stroke":

1) When one or both feet land on the ground outside the batter's area or when one foot touches all or part of the home plate and the ball is struck;

2) When the ball is knocked out with a non-compliant bat.

Hitting: A batter is awarded a "hit" when he misses a hit, misses a good ball, hits a throw-in before two hits, hits a throw-in, hits a ball at the end of the hit and the ball touches the body, a good master's body, or a "baseball". Ball:

A "ball" is awarded when a batter fails to hit a bad ball or when the pitcher throws the ball illegally.

There are four bases in softball, and just like baseball, the batter has to pass the four bases safely and in turn, and finally return to home plate safely to get a point, so the batter has to run the base.

What are the rules of a softball game?

It's a pity that the national team lost to a provincial team.

A quick explanation.

There are a lot of similarities between softball and baseball. At the same time, you will also find that there is a big difference between them.

Softball uses a larger ball than baseball.

Softball bases are meters (60 feet) apart, while baseball bases are meters (90 feet) apart.

In softball, the pitch distance is meters (40 feet), whereas baseball is pitched at meters (60 feet, 6 inches).

Softball bowlers use lower arm movement to pitch, while baseball bowlers pitch their hands over their shoulders.

Unlike baseball bowlers, softball bowlers do not throw the ball on protruding mounds.

In softball, the runner must keep one foot on the ground before the ball is thrown.

Softball has seven innings, while baseball has nine innings.

Another obvious difference is that if the two teams are still tied after nine innings, the softball rules dictate that each team will run from second base in their respective half-innings during the play-offs to increase their chances of scoring.

In addition, softball has a safety base at first base, which is an orange base attached to the regular white base to avoid collisions. The runner must run to the orange safety base, while the first baseman must run to the white base.

Baseball is basically a men's sport, and softball is basically a women's sport

First, baseball is bigger than softball; The field is larger than a softball field; Another point is that the baseball bat is cut from a thick branch, which is very brittle, and it is often seen that the game is played with a lot of force, breaking the stick, while the softball bat is a pure metal rod, which is very hard and hurts when it hits people; Also, the pitcher has a different position, with a baseball bowler asking for a raised hand over the shoulder to throw the ball, while a softball bowler requires a lower arm movement to pitch the ball; Depending on the number of innings, baseball games are played in nine innings, and softball games are played in seven innings.

That's all I know, I didn't copy it, I was a rookie (in this regard), but I understood it after reading it, it was easier to understand, I watched the Science and Technology Olympics again, and I understood the difference between baseball and softball, so I understood better.

The first is the field: the field for baseball is larger than softball, the baseball infield is also a lawn, and the pitcher is not a lap but a bag.

Ball: The ball in baseball is smaller than in softball.

Number of innings: 9 innings in baseball and 7 innings in softball (no overtime in the regular period).

Then there's pitching: baseball is top-handed pitching, and softball is bottom-handed pitching, so baseball is faster than softball.

And then there are some trivial rules

The difference between a touch kill and a steal base

I don't think so

There are both men's and women's baseball sports, but baseball is usually men's because it is more intense than softball.

Whereas, softball is usually a women's sport.

And welcome to softball, which will be explained in more detail.

Hello! The difference between baseball and softball, baseball is small for men, and softball is big for women.

The softball field is fan-shaped at right angles, and the inner area is divided into an infield and an outfield. The infield is a square and red sand field, with a base at each of the four corners. The area outside the infield is the outfield, and the outfield is the turf field.

The distance between each side of the infield is metres. The distance from the pitcher's board to home plate is meters. The sideline is meters long.

Gloves can be used by any player, but "mittens" are limited to receivers and first basemen. Pitcher gloves must be of a single color, and the rest of the players may wear color-blocked gloves, but there must be no white or gray circles on the back; Match players should wear spiked shoes. Receivers must wear face masks, chest guards, throat guards, and leg guards, and offensive players must wear helmets.

Face coverings can be worn by any team member. Players on the same team must wear clothing of the same color and style. Do not wear any metal jewelry or other decorative objects, such as watches, bracelets, earrings and necklaces.

The Olympic softball game uses the rules of fast-pitch softball. At Atlanta 1996, pitching peaked at a speed of 118 km/h. The batsman must stand in the batting area within a meter from the pitcher's plate to make the ball.

Key points of the competition rules: 1. The game generally lasts 7 rounds, and the winner wins with more points after 7 rounds. If the two teams are tied after 7 innings, they will go to a playoff until one side wins.

There are generally 4 referees in official matches, namely 1 ball referee and 3 ball referees, and 2 line referees will be added in major matches. Nine players from each side will take part in the game. 2. The defenders are divided according to their positions on the field

Pitcher, receiver, first baseman, second baseman, third baseman, shortstop, left fielder, fieldfielder, right fielder. The attacking players hit the ball in a pre-arranged order. 3. Scoring and safety:

In the game, after the batter hits the ball thrown by the opposing pitcher, he can only run the base when the ball lands inside the sideline, and when it falls outside the sideline, it is a throw-in, and the batter continues to hit the ball. If the ball is caught by a defender in the air, the batsman will be out of bounds, regardless of whether it is in or out of bounds. After the ball lands in bounds, the defender must quickly pick up the ball and pass it to the designated base, if the batter (or the runner who is already on base) arrives before the ball reaches the corresponding base, it is safe, otherwise he is out, if the batter reaches first base in a counterclockwise direction and transforms into a runner, then runs to second base, then third base, and finally runs back to home plate, one point is awarded.

In a game, if 3 players from the attacking team are out, the attack ends and the two sides exchange offense and defense. Each side attacks and defends once for a game. 4. Home run:

A home run is when the batter hits the ball straight out of the outcourt fence, at which point the batter and all the runners on base can run back to home plate and score. Etiquette: Before watching the game, it is best for the audience to understand the basic rules of the softball game, so that they can see the excitement and fully enjoy the fun of watching the game.

Pay attention to your own behavior, be civilized and decent, warm and moderate. Other requirements are similar to baseball.

Softball scoring:

In an inning, if a batter hits the ball and goes counterclockwise to first base, then runs all third bases and finally runs back to home plate, the team scores one point. When a batsman hits a ball thrown by an opposing player, that batsman takes first base.

Softball is a game in which two teams alternate batting and receiving. The aim of both sides of the match is to try to get the highest score in 7 innings (i.e. seven overs). If three batsmen are eliminated from the game, then the team's half of the inning is over.

If the two teams are tied after seven innings, both teams will advance to the play-offs until one side wins.
