How many players are there in a baseball team?

A baseball team consists of nine players on the field at any given time during a game. Each of these players assumes a specific position: three outfielders, four infielders, a pitcher, and a catcher. This setup is standardized in Major League Baseball and is the foundation for the game.

While there are variations in other formats of baseball and softball regarding team sizes and positions, the basic structure in traditional baseball is to have nine players actively playing on the field.
