WHAT IS
BEEP
BASEBALL?
Beep baseball is played by athletes that are blind or with a vision disability (legally blind).
All players wear blindfolds creating an even playing field. Players utilize their entire body, diving onto the ground to stop a beeping ball to record an out, hitting a pitched ball and running 100 feet full speed toward the sound of a buzzing base to score a run.

It is baseball, in a modified version, using a beeping ball and buzzing bases.

HOW IT
WORKS
Beep baseball is an adaptive sport designed for blind and visually impaired athletes, played using a beeping ball and two buzzing bases located where first and third base would be. All fielders wear blindfolds to level the playing field, while a sighted pitcher from the batter's team pitches the ball. When the batter makes contact, one base begins to buzz, and the runner must reach it before a fielder locates the ball by sound. There is no second base, and scoring depends on speed, sound, and teamwork—making for a fast-paced, thrilling version of baseball.
