Quit asking! The most asked questions you should never ask someone who plays baseball.
Many people play baseball but there are many who don't. Many say baseball is really hard, and wonder how you can make millions of dollars a year playing. Even though it is simple it is harder than most sports it takes allot of mathematics. If you don't play baseball you are more than likely to ask such stupid and easy questions. It gets really old real fast when you are asked these simple little things everyone should know or learn.
How do you have such good accuracy when you pitch or throw?
Really it is so simple. All you have to do is practice. Once you learn how to throw you go to a ball park or make a little target like thing. Really it's not so little it is actually quite large. Then you start aiming for the target and one day you will hit that target then make it smaller and try to hit the smaller target. Then you do that over and over again until you are hitting rally small targets. After you have your aim down then you start going for speed and curb balls to make it harder for the batter to hit the ball. After you have it all down it pretty much becomes natural.
How do you catch a ball? Plus make it look so easy?
It's just like anything else you have to practice. First off keep your eye on the ball. Use your mitt to block out the sun. Then you move your mitt around to catch the ball. Then when the ball is coming into your mitt after you moved it around you close your mitt. That's all you do and then like throwing it becomes natural as well. Making it look easy I don't know about that even major league players don't all ways catch the ball.
Why is it so hard to hit a ball even for major league players?
Ok all you have to know is that pitchers try to do things to throw you off so you can't get a hit the ball. Even if the pitchers did not do things to throw you off you still have to swing the bat at the right time and pray that you hit it. Hitting the ball is all about right timing.
What are the ways you can get out?
The first way to get out which everyone knows is the three strikes and your out. In three strikes your out if you swing and miss after three pitches then you get out. Second way of getting out is when you hit the ball and the first base men gets the ball before you get there then you are out. The third way of getting out is when they tag you before you get to second or third base. However with that they can tag you anywhere on the field to get you out also. The last way you can get out is when you hit the ball and someone catches the ball before it hits the ground.
How do you score in baseball?
Technically in baseball you don't score you get a home run/ a run. There is only one way to get an actual home run and that is to hit the ball and make it past all the bases. However you can get something called a run. A run is when you hit the ball and only make it to one of the first three bases. Then a batter hits the ball you make it the rest of the way home. The last way to get a home run/a run is called a gram slam. A grand slam is when you have players on the first three bases then you hit a home run.

Haha, you'd never want to take me to a baseball game then. It's really hard to understand what's going on, I definitely probably annoy the living hell out of people at games. It bugs me too though when people ask me tons of questions.
I like what you said about practice. Many times I get asked how I can draw so well I tell the same thing, it's all about practice. Every one thinks that we are born great at what we do, but in reality it's the result of practice through out years.
