The Sport Itself
Baseball Is a very difficult sport to play. It takes a lot of work and effort to handle. Whether Its Batting of fielding you are almost doing something at all times.

Baseball Is also titled with "The Eagle eye" according to fact monster.com which also shows how difficult baseball Is and how much attention Is needed to play the sport.
More About Pitching
I will be talking about some of the most difficult fielding sports In baseball Its self. First Is number 1 pitcher. The pitcher Is the man who throws the ball to the batter. The object Is to strike the batter out. This can be difficult to play because the pitcher needs to throw the ball at a small area called the strike zone. If the ball Is not thrown at the angle In the strike zone the ball will not be a strike It would become a ball. If the batter gets four balls he gets a free walk to first baseball. This position can put a lot of pressure on the player
More About Batting
Batting Is also very difficult to do In baseball. From trying to make contact with the ball or not swinging at a perfect pitch can be nerve racking for the player. The batter's expectation Is to make contact with the baseball and swing at the right time. Other times, players can get nervous about not striking out which can put more stress on the player and or team. Hitting Is very difficult to perform and IS a big example on how baseball Is difficult to play.
Conclusion
As we come to a end, baseball Is a very difficult sport to play as I said before. When Its hitting, pitching, catching and (ect) baseball truly Is a difficult sport to play!
