The strike zone is determined by a target approximately 20” wide and 30” high. The Strike Zone will be located 36" from the back of Home Plate. A pitch that hits the border of or within the target is a called strike.

Any combination of two missed swings, called strikes, and/or foul balls is an out. there will be no limit on foul balls. Four balls is a walk. Hit batsmen do not take a base (A Hit Batsman will count as a Ball).A foul tip that hits the strike zone after the Batter has 2 Strikes is an out.

Hits are determined by the designated field areas. A Ball that lands in the area before the first line in-between the foul lines will be an out (Dead Zone).A ball reaching the ground on or past the singles line is a single, landing on or past the doubles line in the air is a double, landing on or past the triple line in the air or hitting the fence in the air is a triple, and landing over the fence is a home run. If a ball comes into contact with a fielder in one designated field area and lands in another (before touching the ground), the hit will be determined by the area that the ball lands in, not where it came into contact with the fielder.
