Short answers

1. Answer the questions

1. The diamond is the infield: it includes the four bases/home plate, the base paths, the batter’s boxes, and the pitcher’s mound.
2. The game starts at home plate, and runs are also scored when a runner reaches home plate.
3. The pitcher throws from the pitcher’s mound.
4. A batting helmet protects the head; a catcher’s mask/helmet protects the face and head.
5. Basic equipment: baseball, bat, glove/mitt, batting helmet, protective catcher’s gear, bases.
6. The catcher wears the most protective gear: mask, chest protector, shin guards, etc.
7. Main positions:
   • Pitcher — throws pitches.
   • Catcher — catches pitches and guards home plate.
   • First baseman, second baseman, third baseman — field near their bases and make outs.
   • Shortstop — fields between second and third base.
   • Left, center, and right fielders — catch fly balls and field hits in the outfield.
   • A designated hitter may bat instead of the pitcher.
8. Pitch types: fastball, curveball, slider, changeup, sinker, cutter, knuckleball.

How to remember the main ideas

• The diamond = the infield; the area beyond it is the outfield.
• The key matching words are often synonyms:
  • closer → pitcher who ends the game;
  • chest protector → padded vest;
  • on deck → next up to bat;
  • pennant → prize for winning a division;
  • out → player is removed from play.
• In the matching task, every definition A–T is used exactly once, so checking that no letter is repeated is a good final check.
