The game is divided into innings, and innings are further divided into a top (first half) and bottom (second half). During the top half, the visiting team bats and the home team pitches. During the bottom half, the roles are reversed.

The pitching team plays first by selecting the type of pitch that they want to deliver, or by rolling it randomly. Each type of the pitch has adifferent chance of delivering various results. Six types are possible - Fastball, Curveball, Slider, Changeup, Knuckleball, and Screwball

The batting team moves a team member to the home plate if there isn't any there, then rolls the dice to determine the actual result, and the result then gets played on the board.

The actual board consists of a diamond-shaped field, with 4 stopping points - the home plate and three bases numbered from 1 to 3.

After each batting, a member of the team can, based on the result of the batting, advance from the home plate, running through the 1st base, then the 2nd base, then the 3rd base,and finally back to the home plate. Any team member who completes the run and reaches the home plate scores 1 point for their team.

Here are the possible outcomes and their meanings. A "runner" is any team member located on either the home plate or any of the three bases.

Outcome Meaning
Single All runners advance by 1 base.
Double All runners advance by 2 bases.
Triple All runners advance by 3 bases.
Homerun All runners reach the home plate and score.
Walk Similar to a single, but any gap ends movement: the runner from the home plate advances to 1st base. If there was a player on 1st base, they advance to the 2nd base. If there was a player on both 1st and 2nd base, they both advance by 1 base. If there were players on all 3 bases, they all advance by 1 base and one of them scores.
Strike out Increase outs by 1.
Fly out Increase outs by 1.
Pop out Increase outs by 1.
Ground out Increase outs by 1.
Double play Increase outs by 1. If there is a runner on any of the 3 bases, increase outs by 2 instead.
Wild pitch Runners on the 3 bases advance by 1 base. The one on the homeplate does not.
When three outs are recorded, the half-inning ends, the teams swap roles and the next half starts.

Ending the game
After 9 innings, the team with a higher score wins. In case of a tie, up to 3 innings are played. If neither player leads after the 3 extra innings, the game ends in a draw.

Now that the games have been here at GT for awhile I have a question for the squirrels....

What are the stats for each type of pitch thrown?

Basically, if I throw a knucckleball, what is more likely to happen and so on. And yes, I know the dice are random. I'm just wanting to know statistically speaking what the overall results have been thus far for each pitch overall.

Thanks in advance.
