What is Pesapallo? In which country is Pesapallo unique?

The Pesapallo is a Finnish baseball-like sport played between two teams of nine players.

The basic idea of ​​weighing ball is similar to that of baseball. So while the defense tries to throw out batters and runners, the offense manages to hit the ball. And so they try to score by running the bases. Also, one of the most important differences between Pesapallo and baseball is that the ball is pitched vertically. This makes it much easier to hit the ball and control the power and direction of your shot. This gives the offensive game more variety, speed, and tactical aspects than baseball. The outfield team is forced to respond to the hitter’s picks with defensive plans and anticipations. Weighball becomes a mental exercise.

The Pesaball game is played in two periods of four innings each. The period is won by the team that scores the most runs in the offensive half-inning. If the periods are tied, an extra inning is played. If necessary, there is an inning in which each team tries to drive a player home from third base.
