Baseball/Softball at IMGA Master Games

> Registrations are open for 2023 Asia pacific Masters Games South Korea

Baseball is a bat-and-ball game played between two opposing teams who take turns batting and fielding. A game is usually composed of nine innings, and the team with the greater number of runs at the end of the game wins. If scores are tied at the end of nine innings, extra innings are usually played. Baseball has no game clock, although most games end in the ninth inning.

Baseball evolved from older bat-and-ball games already being played in England by the mid-18th century. This game was brought by immigrants to North America, where the modern version developed. By the late 19th century, baseball was widely recognised as the national sport of the United States. Baseball is popular in North America and parts of Central and South America, the Caribbean, and East Asia, particularly in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.

 

Age categories

Baseball:

Men A & B Grades: 35+, 45+, 55+

The age category you will compete in for Baseball will be determined as at 31 December of the year of the event. For teams, the category you compete in is based on the age of the youngest team member. For example, if your youngest team member is 44 during Games time but has turned 45 by 31 December, you would compete in the 45+ age category.

Softball

Softball is a game like baseball played with a larger ball on a field that has base lengths of 60 feet, a pitcher’s mound that ranges from 35–43 feet away from home plate, and a home run fence that is 220–300 feet away from home plate, depending on the type of softball being played. It was invented in 1887 in Chicago, Illinois, United States as an indoor game. The game moves at a faster pace than traditional baseball due to the field being smaller and the bases and the fielders being closer to home plate. There is less time for the base runner to get to first while the opponent fields the ball; yet the fielder has less time to field the ball while the opponent is running down to first base.

 

Age categories

Softball

35+, 45+, 55+

The age category you will compete in for Softball will be determined as at 31 December of the year of the event. For teams, the category you compete in is based on the age of the youngest team member. For example, if your youngest team member is 44 during Games time but has turned 45 by 31 December, you would compete in the 45+ age category.
