Baseball is a sport played with a bat and a ball. In baseball, there are two teams of nine players each, and the goal is to score runs by hitting a thrown ball with a bat and touching a series of four bases arranged 90 feet apart at the corners of a diamond. Offensive players take turns hitting, while the defense tries to stop them from scoring runs by getting hitters out in a number of different ways. A player on offense can stop at any of the bases and try to score on a teammate's hit ball. The teams switch between offense and defense whenever the team on defense records three outs. One turn on offense for each team makes an inning, and nine innings make up a professional game. The team with the most runs at the end of the game is the winner. In this free video series, a baseball swing analyst and hitting coach explains and demonstrates how to calculate some of the most commonly used baseball statistics. Learn how to calculate total bases, batting average, earned run average, fielding percentage and on-base percentage, among others. Additionally, tips are provided on mental preparation for baseball games and hitting baseballs.
