What is Baseball5?
Baseball5 is a fast, small-space urban version of baseball devised by the World Baseball Softball Confederation and inspired by Cuban street games. Five-a-side teams play on a 21 × 21 m square field; the batter strikes a rubber ball with their hand and runs bases. Innings are 3 outs each; games are five innings.
