Baseball-like games are sports that share similar rules and gameplay elements with traditional baseball. These games typically involve two teams, a bat, and a ball, where players aim to score runs by hitting the ball and running around bases. Variations can include different field sizes, numbers of players, and specific rules that may change the pace or style of play. Examples of baseball-like games include softball, stickball, and rounders. Each of these games has its own unique characteristics, such as the size of the ball or the distance between bases, but they all maintain the core objective of scoring runs while preventing the opposing team from doing the same.
