About This Answer
Each baseball team gets three outs per inning before switching from offense to defense. According to the Baseball Hall of Fame, this rule creates the game's fundamental structure and pacing. The National Baseball Hall of Fame documents how three outs balance offensive opportunity with defensive control. Baseball strategists carefully manage their three outs to maximize run scoring. The three-out inning has remained unchanged since baseball's formalization in the mid-19th century.
