What's Different?

Letโ€™s talk about those gloriously weird Banana Ball rules that make this the most unique baseball experience your team will ever play:

๐ŸŒ Win the inning, win the point.

Each inning = one point. Most runs that inning? Boom, you score a point. Last inning? Every run counts!

๐ŸŒ No stepping out.

Step out of the box? Thatโ€™s a strike. Eyes on the prize, slugger.

๐ŸŒ Bunting is banned.

Bunting = boring. Automatic out. Dead play. Sorry, small-ball fans.

๐ŸŒ Steal first base?!

Yup. Any passed ball or wild pitch? Take off like a banana rocket.

๐ŸŒ Walks turn into sprints.

On ball four, the batter runs while the infield must ALL touch the ball before it becomes live.

Chaos? Encouraged. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

๐ŸŒ No mound visits.

Coaches, stay chill. Pitchers'll figure it out on the fly.

๐ŸŒ Fan catches a foul ball? Thatโ€™s an OUT.

Time to get those hands ready, family and fans!

๐ŸŒ Golden Batter Rule.

Call in your heavy hitter ONCE per game - anytime, anywhere. Use it wisely.

๐ŸŒ First base coach? Must be the last out - and helmeted.

No more lazy standing around, Coach Dad. First Base shall be staffed by a fellow player.

๐ŸŒ Tiebreaker Showdowns.

If it's tied at the time limit, get ready for the ultimate standoff with wild 1v1 (and 1v3!) sudden death battles.
