How it works
Baseball math worksheets built on the game's real numbers. The page opens on outs and innings for grade 3: three outs a turn and six in a full inning. The answer key prints as the last page.

How to print a baseball math worksheet
The opening sheet multiplies by three and six: three outs end a turn at bat, and both teams bat in an inning. Press Make a new sheet for new numbers, then Print. Or open the Sheet type menu: kindergarten adds runs, grade 2 works with crowds and pitch counts, grade 4 runs the bases. Choose 4, 6 or 8 under Problems.
The baseball rules on these sheets
Three strikes make a strikeout and four balls give a walk. A team has nine players, and a game is usually nine innings. A story that needs nine innings, or ninety feet between bases, says so itself: fields for young children have 60-foot base paths.
- Outs and innings shows why 6 is double 3: a full inning is two turns at bat of three outs.
- On the ninety-foot sheet, 4 base paths is a home run: 360 feet. Ask which problem on the sheet it is.
Questions and answers
How many outs are in an inning?
Six in a full inning: three for each team's turn at bat. A game of nine full innings has 9 × 6 = 54 outs.
How many innings are in a baseball game?
Usually nine. If the score is tied after the ninth inning, extra innings are usually played.
How many strikes and balls are there in baseball?
Three strikes and the batter is out. Four balls and the batter walks to first base. So 5 strikeouts take 15 strikes, and 5 walks take 20 balls.
How far apart are the bases in baseball?
Ninety feet on a full-size field, so a run around all four bases is 4 × 90 = 360 feet. Fields for children of 12 and under have 60-foot base paths.
