Many that drive the ball back onto the field are thrown to the batter with a little light swing. It was called “pepper” because the batter “picked” his teammates and sprinkled them with the pitch. The ball was “sprinkled.” It is a traditional pre-game workout where a player hikes a group of fielders about twenty feet apart on brisk grounders and line drives. The field men throw the batter, using a fast, light swing to strike the turf. They field the balls on the turf and keep throwing the ball at the batter. This practice alerts the field and the batter and contributes to the rapid development and proper control of the hands.

History

It is very far back to the 1920s that the No Pepper law goes back. It was still an obstacle to the siblingship and eventually the risk of gambling. Historically, Pepper was played to be social and polite by a squad of players from both sides. But MLB has a law, rule 3.09, which bans uniformed players from brotherhood with other people. The apparent explanation for this is to discourage critics from engaging in future gambling plans.

Game

Pepper is a traditional batting exercise and fielding exercise, and a professional baseball game. A player hits a group of field men in the vicinity of a loose ground ball. Pepper is also a tactical game where the party of field players is on a line about fifteen and twenty feet away from a hitter. One of the field men throws the ball at the hitter, trying to reach the field men in the line. If the fielder plays the ball cleanly, he throws it back at the hitter as fast as possible; the batter then attempts to reach the field again. If the ball is wrong, the fielder has to switch to the rear of the line. If the batter hits a faulty pitch or hits the ball, he is withdrawn as the batter turns into a fielder and goes to the end of the line.

The fielder is then the hitter at the front of the line. Whoever takes the pitch, regardless of the spot, becomes the new batter as it strikes a line drive or pop-up to fields, the batter goes up to the end of the line. Any ballparks prohibited pepper-games due to the risk of balls falling in stands and hurting viewers and the concentrated performance damaging the turf. Many ballparks show no warnings behind or close the home platform for pepper games.
