![]() The only similarities between fielding in cricket and baseball are between the pitcher and bowler and catcher and wicketkeeper (both placed behind the batter for the fielding team.) ![]() Bases have to be covered, and three players must be in the outfield. However, baseball fielding positions are more rigid. The fence is the equivalent to the boundary in cricket. Fielding teams in cricket have many options on where to position players – they can more or less stand anywhere within the boundary unless fielding restrictions are in place. Baseball is played on a 90-degree field, with anything directly to the left or right of the batter classed as ‘foul ground’. Fielding Setup: Cricket is played on a round field with the boundary defining the edge of the playing space.These are some of the most common ways to get out in baseball. Run outs occur if the fielder touches the base before the runner. Runners can also be tagged out when a fielder touches them with the ball as they run between bases. Batters can strike out if they fail to hit three consecutive pitches, and they can be caught if a fielder catches the ball without it touching the ground first. In comparison, there are many more ways for a batter to get out in baseball. There are other more rare methods of dismissal in cricket, such as hitting the ball twice, but these are very uncommon. In cricket, a batsman can be bowled out, run out, bowled LBW, caught or stumped by the wicket-keeper. Outs: How batting players are dismissed varies between the two sports.Alternatively, batters can hit the ball for a home run – when the ball clears the perimeter fence – for a run. They then run around all four bases to score a run for their team. In baseball, the pitcher throws the ball to the batter, who scores runs by hitting the ball as far as possible. Batters can also add to their team’s score by hitting a boundary (four or a six). ![]() They hit the ball and scores runs by running between the wickets with their batting partner. In cricket, a bowler delivers the ball to the batter. But getting to that point is very different.
