If a player has more strength and skill they will be able to hit the ball further and they would be able to throw the ball a lot harder and further. Most of the time in baseball when players start to take steroids it is normally given to them by there team trainer.

One is played by girls and the other is played by boys. However, there is more to both ball games then the gender to distinguish them. To compare and contrast the two you need to determine the different techniques, determine the different rules and identify the similarities. Softball and Baseball seems like the same sport but have a few major differences. In a softball game a pitcher can last the whole game and even withstand throwing a double header because they have a special type of pitching which is called “the
Lastly, the pitcher must have different types of throws to strike the batter out. Some pitches are called knuckle, curve, change-up, and fastball. The objective of a knuckle is to keep the ball still with no movement. The curve is a pitch that is hard to hit because it curves down right when it gets to the plate. Third a change-up is thrown when you try to keep the batter off guard; it is usually thrown when holding it with your palm.
The most common ways for the defense to get an out are: a batter hits a ball that is caught before it hits the ground, first base is touched with the ball before the runner gets there, or a batter strikes out. The goal of the offense is to get around the bases; the first step is to get on base. When the game starts, all nine members of the defense take their positions on the field. The batter approaches home plate and takes her place in the batter’s box. The batter attempts to hit the ball so that it is out of reach for the
Imagery is when the author uses words to make you create a mental image. There are many uses of imagery in the poem for example, in the first stanza, Bottoms creates the image of a batter in baseball by describing this person getting ready to bat “as your left hand climbed the bat, your legs and shoulders squared toward the pitcher”. He’s giving the feeling that you’re the batter, that through hard work sacrifice & practice, he reaches his goal of getting an opportunity in the spotlight. That’s how the author uses imagery in his poem to again prove that practice makes perfect. So as stated before, practice makes perfect.
The pitcher must have the confidence and skills to throw the various types of throws in order to strike a batter out. In some cases the pitcher is also an infielder because if the ball is hit in his region of the field, the pitcher has to act fast to catcher a pop fly or ground the ball and throw the batter out. The pitcher also has to keep a keen eye on the opposing basemen for if they get a far lead off of the base, he can get out of his pitching start stance quickly and throw the basemen out. The Catcher must be very quick with their movements and be ready to throw the ball to their infielders to tag an opposing team member if he is caught trying to steal the next base. Bases can be stolen and runs can be scored if mistakes are made.
Troy Kesterson Professor Carmichael English 104 29 November 2011 Steroids in Baseball Athletes whether young or old, amateur or professional, are always looking for an advantage over their opponents. The desire for an “edge” and the satisfaction of winning exists in all levels of play. Successful athletes practice and work hard but others resort to drugs to give them that edge. Ever since the inception of the Major League Baseball in 1876, players have looked to gain that competitive edge. Early pitchers adopted the spitball, which was the chemical altering of a baseball with saliva, Vaseline, or mud to make the baseball behave in ways atypical of a delivered pitch.
Some have mental health issues that prevent them from playing on a team where the stress of winning is too much for them. The Miracle League games are non competitive but fun for all.The teams are separated only by age with there being adult teams and youth teams.

These games are so very important to the players and all others involved with their lives .The players each have a buddy to help them with hitting the ball, running the bases or being in the outfield.
Baseball and the art behind it Courtney HUM 266 4-6-2011 Joseph Blomer Baseball and the art behind it The Sandlot is unlike most other kid’s sports movies since it's not ultimately about winning the big game. Baseball is presented in this movie as a way of life for these small-town kids, a path for them to follow as they imitate the great heroes of the baseball. As an alternative to seeing the kids influenced by pushy adults, boosting them to win the game at all costs, instead this story focuses on the personal growth of the kids, and how they use teamwork learned through baseball to attempt solve their problems. As the story advances, the scenes become increasingly more extravagant, as these kids try scheme after scheme to recover the valuable baseball hit over the fence. Writer/director David Mickey Evans bounces the film with some great summertime amusement that stresses the fabulous nature of the sport of baseball and uses it as a metaphor for the coming of age subjects common to all young people.
