High school baseball is a popular sport played by students in grades 9 through 12. Teams typically compete in local and state leagues, showcasing their skills in games held during the spring season. Players develop their abilities in hitting, pitching, and fielding, often practicing several times a week. Many high schools have dedicated baseball fields, and games are usually played after school. Participation in high school baseball can lead to opportunities for scholarships and recruitment by colleges, as well as fostering teamwork and sportsmanship among players. The sport is governed by organizations like the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS).
