One of the most important differences between pesäpallo and baseball is that the ball is pitched vertically, which makes hitting the ball, as well as controlling the power and direction of the hit, much easier. This gives the offensive game more variety, speed, and tactical aspects compared to baseball.<sup id="cite_ref-INTRO_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-INTRO-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The fielding team is forced to counter the batter's choices with defensive schemes and anticipation. </p><p>The manager has an important role in pesäpallo, leading the offense by giving signals to the players using a multicoloured fan.

A period is won by the team which scores more runs in its offensive half-innings. If the periods are tied, there will be an extra inning; if needed, there is a round (similar to a penalty shoot-out) where each team tries to bring a player home from the third base.<sup id="cite_ref-RULES_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-RULES-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>During an inning, both teams take turns playing offense (batting) and defense (fielding).<sup id="cite_ref-INTRO_3-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-INTRO-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The defensive team has nine players on the field.

The offensive team can continue batting until three players have been put out or one round of the batting order has been completed without at least two runs scored. The batter and the <a href="/wiki/Pitcher" title="Pitcher">pitcher</a> face each other in the home base, on opposite sides of the circular plate. The pitch is delivered by throwing the ball directly upwards above the plate, at least one meter over the head of the pitcher.<sup id="cite_ref-INTRO_3-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-INTRO-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The batter has three <a href="/wiki/Strike_(baseball)" class="mw-redirect" title="Strike (baseball)">strikes</a> available during their turn at bat.

However, if the batter hits a foul ball on the third strike and does not try to advance, only that player is out and the runners continue with the next batter. </p><p>If the pitcher delivers two bad pitches (ball), the batter is granted a <a href="/wiki/Base_on_balls" title="Base on balls">walk</a> to the first base only if all bases are unoccupied. If there are runners on the field, the point runner (the runner at the highest-numbered base) is granted a walk to the next base for the second and all consecutive bad pitches pitched for the same hitter. A pitch can be ruled bad for various reasons, most common ones being that the ball does not fall on the plate or that the pitch is not thrown high enough.<sup id="cite_ref-INTRO_3-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-INTRO-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A hit is foul if the ball first touches the field outside of the boundaries, the batter or the runners cannot advance on a foul hit.

Players who have been caught are removed from the field, but they do not count as outs. </p><p>The runner reaches safety on a base by touching the base area before the ball is thrown to a fielder in the base. If the ball gets to the base first, the runner is put out and removed from the field. The batter is also put out if the third strike is foul. A runner on a base is forced to advance if the next runner reaches safety on the same base.<sup id="cite_ref-INTRO_3-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-INTRO-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The offensive team scores a run when a runner returns safely to the home base after advancing through all three field bases.

The back line on the fly counts as a <i>laiton</i> (literally "illegal", a <a href="/wiki/Foul_ball" title="Foul ball">foul ball</a>). The foul lines are also on the sides and the front of the field. So if a player aims high and hits a very hard hit that would be a certain home run in baseball, it is counted as a foul in pesäpallo. This increases the tactical approach. All home runs, therefore, are the "<a href="/wiki/Inside-the-park" class="mw-redirect" title="Inside-the-park">inside-the-park</a>" variety.</li> <li>Catching a ball <a href="/wiki/In_flight" title="In flight">in flight</a> is not an <a href="/wiki/Out_(baseball)" title="Out (baseball)">out</a>, but forces all runners advancing at the moment of the catch to attempt to reach the next base. If they succeed they must return to home base with no further consequences (this is called a <i>haava</i>, literally "a wound" or simply <i>koppi</i>, "a catch"). If they fail to reach the next base, they are out.</li> <li>Instead of a "<a href="/wiki/Batter%27s_box" class="mw-redirect" title="Batter's box">batter's box</a>", the home plate serves as a <i>pitching plate</i>, which is round with a diameter of 60 centimetres (24 in). All other batting team players stand in a semicircle near the batter.</li> <li>Players generally have little difficulty hitting the ball, so the main target is not just hitting the ball but selecting a suitable type of hit and directing it correctly. There are many different types of hits used, here are a few examples: <ul><li><i>Snap (short) hit ("Näppi"):</i> Normally used for advancing fast runners between bases, aimed to avoid defensive players. Usually hit in such way that the ball takes a hard spin.</li> <li><i>Fly hit ("Koppilyönti"):</i> An intentional high hit to be caught, often used to give way for faster runners.</li> <li><i>High drive ("Kupperi" or "Kumura"):</i> Aimed to drop to the field between midfield and outfield, with a top spin. Excellent for scoring.</li> <li><i>Bouncer ("Pomppu"):</i> Used for advancing fast runners, hit downwards very hard to be bounced right next to the front arc. Aimed towards the base runner is leaving, or to the center. Technically very hard to perform, used only by advanced players.</li></ul></li> <li>A home run is scored if a batter advances to the third base on his own fair hit. After a home run, the runner will stay at third base and can later score an additional point by advancing from third to home base.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Base_on_balls" title="Base on balls">Walking</a> requires fewer invalid pitches. When the field is empty of runners, one invalid pitch grants a walk, otherwise two. After two invalid pitches, each such pitch grants another walk. A walk advances the point runner; if there is a runner at third base, that player shall score.</li> <li>A fair hit does not force the batter to advance; he can use all three strikes at bat before he becomes a runner. A pitch counts as a strike, if the batter takes a swing at the ball or if the umpire rules the pitch legal.</li> <li>"Force outs" are always outs: if the runner is off the base and the ball is in the control of a defensive player at the next base, the runner is out.</li> <li>The bases are not laid in a diamond shape; the players have to 'zig zag' the court (see chart).</li> <li>When entering a base or the home base, the runner only has to cross the line of the base; there are no actual cushion bases like in baseball, only lines in the field showing each base's boundaries (a much larger area compared to the bases used in baseball). Similarly, the pitcher or the fielders in the bases do not have any plates to touch to make an out; having only a foot in the base is enough.</li> <li>The attacking team uses a colour-coded fan to signal the runners when to move. The fan is multicoloured, held by the coach of the team. Colour sequence is decided prior to the game.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Players">Players</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Pes%C3%A4pallo&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Players"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1251242444" /><table class="box-Unreferenced_section plainlinks metadata ambox ambox-content ambox-Unreferenced" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><div class="mbox-image-div"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Question_book-new.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/50px-Question_book-new.svg.png" decoding="async" width="50" height="39" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/75px-Question_book-new.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/100px-Question_book-new.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="399" /></a></span></div></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This section <b>does not <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources">cite</a> any <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability">sources</a></b>.<span class="hide-when-compact"> Please help <a href="/wiki/Special:EditPage/Pes%C3%A4pallo" title="Special:EditPage/Pesäpallo">improve this section</a> by <a href="/wiki/Help:Referencing_for_beginners" title="Help:Referencing for beginners">adding citations to reliable sources</a>.

The <i>pitcher</i> is positioned in the home base. A <i>catcher</i> plays in the infield on the side of the second base. Each of the three bases has its <i>baseman</i> and an additional two <i>shortstops</i> playing close to the second and third bases. Two <i>outfielders</i> cover the outfield. Players can switch their places and position themselves to the field wherever they want. Different positioning is used in different situations, when the defensive team can expect a certain type of hit. This is usually determined by the location of the offensive team's point runner. Special tactics could even be made against a certain batter. </p><p>The team playing the <i>offensive half</i> has nine <i>batters</i> and three additional batters known as <i>jokers</i> (The term "joker" refers to a wild card rather than a jester). Whereas ordinary batters must bat in a pre-designated batting order, the joker batters are allowed to breach the batting order. </p><p>Today, players usually have a specialized role in the batting order depending on their abilities. Fast runners are usually positioned first in the batting order, after which come players who specialize in advancing runners between bases. Next comes a player specializing in scoring runners home. Players from 6 to 9 often form another attacking combination. The jokers are usually a selection of either batting jokers (good hitters specializing in scoring) or runner jokers (fast runners specializing in advancing in the field). </p><p>Both teams have a <i>pelinjohtaja</i>, lit. <i>a game leader</i> or more simply, a manager. The captain of the team – one of the players – tries to beat the other team's captain in the <i>hutunkeitto</i>, <i>draw of choice</i> which determines which team gets to choose whether it will want to start in the offensive or the defensive half. The manager is also akin to a coach and he does not take part in the actual game. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Playing_field">Playing field</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Pes%C3%A4pallo&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Playing field"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The infield is pentagonal, 96 metres (315 ft) long and 42 metres (138 ft) wide at its widest, and the ball must bounce at least once in the infield to be a valid fair hit.

The glove is made of leather although some manufacturers use different kinds of synthetic fibers on the back side. The inside of the glove is always made of thick leather and the main differences between gloves lie in the amount and quality of padding, the thickness of the leather, the size of the glove and its shaping. </p><p>The ball is caught into the glove's cup between the thumb and the index finger.

Previously the bats used in pesäpallo were made of wood. These were fairly brittle and did not last very long when used to hit such a heavy ball. Now, wooden bats are only used in children's games and the bats used in adult's games are made of a mixture of glass fiber and carbon fiber. </p><p>The biggest differences between bats lie in the weight, center of gravity, flexibility and length. The maximum length of the bat is 100 centimetres (39 in). When using a children's ball the maximum length of the bat is 90 centimetres (35 in). </p><p>The weight of the bat is considered to be its most important property. A typical bat used in top competitions weighs between 580 grams (20 oz) and 620 grams (22 oz). The heaviest bats weigh more than 650 grams (23 oz) but these are only used by strong players like batting jokers. Junior players typically use bats that weigh less than 400 grams (14 oz).
