In this episode of Baseball for Girls, I’m talking about all the things that completely confused me when I first started watching baseball.

From trying to understand the count and why pitchers shake their heads before every pitch, to figuring out what “0-for-3” means and how it affects batting averages. Baseball felt wildly complicated when I first fell in love with it back in 2022! But now, I understand the game so much better, and you will too!

I talk about:

  • How I accidentally became obsessed with baseball
  • Why the Orioles made me fall in love with the sport
  • The weird beauty of baseball’s slow pace and sudden chaos
  • Counts, walks, plate appearances, and pitcher strategy
  • What a PitchCom is and why pitchers nod before pitches
  • How I learned to keep score
  • And why I created Baseball for Girls in the first place


If you’ve ever tried to watch baseball and felt completely lost, this episode is for you! You are not “bad” at baseball. You’re just learning a sport that has a million tiny moving pieces and an entire language of its own.
