Description

This episode we discuss over 20 baseball myths, or commonly misunderstood baseball rules. These are things that you will hear bleacher coaches (aka parents or family members) often getting wrong at baseball games. Here are a few of the myths we mention:

• Myth: If a batter does not swing and is struck by a pitch, the batter automatically is awarded first base. 

• Myth: The runner must turn to his/her right after over-running first base. 

• Myth: No run can score when a runner is called out, for the third out, for not tagging up. 

• Myth: The batter may not switch batter’s boxes after two strikes.
  
  

On Deck: Diana and Stephanie discuss more tournament baseball reviews from IL, IN, and OH.
