Fungo baseball is a competitive sport derived from a modified form of regular American style baseball. In fungo baseball the position of a pitcher as a defensive player throwing baseballs to a catcher at home plate for opposition batters to try to hit has been eliminated. Instead, batters standing in regular baseball playing field batters' boxes, put baseballs in play by hitting fungoes, preferably using fungo style bats. Fungo hits are baseballs tossed a few feet in the air by batters and hit with their bats when the baseballs are on their way down. Almost all other aspects of play action in fungo baseball are the same as regular baseball: games last nine innings unless overtime innings are required to untie a score; each team fields nine players; games are played in the same playing fields as regular baseball; many of the rules of regular baseball apply to the playing of fungo baseball and the same level of officiating and team management of games is aimed for; approximately the same level of skill and energy are required of fungo baseball players as of regular baseball players, except that fungo baseball playing rules are designed to encourage a more relaxed, enjoyable game that should lead to fewer player injuries.
