Why is baseball not popular in China?
However, China is different from Japan and South Korea, although they are both located in East Asia. Regardless of economic factors, in the final analysis, China people have no tradition of playing baseball. The development of baseball in Korea and Japan is deeply influenced by the United States, and they have been exposed to baseball earlier and have a deeper understanding. Most people's views on baseball in China, like watching hockey and lifting weights, are the business of professional sports teams and have nothing to do with ordinary people. Therefore, if baseball is to be popularized in China, it cannot be solved simply by developing professional leagues. The key is to change the view of ordinary people in China on baseball, but this workload is too great.

The effect was not as good as expected, and the Chinese baseball league lasted for three years. China people's recognition of baseball is still not high, and baseball is not as popular as the United States, Japan and South Korea.

The first difficulty: rules

Baseball is a game with complicated rules. You don't have to know what offside is in football, compared with other sports. But it doesn't affect your appreciation of wonderful fitness goals, beautiful passes and wonderful passes, but baseball is different. If you don't know the rules, you can't understand why the pitcher chooses to throw bad balls instead of good ones. Why do offensive players choose to sacrifice to play ... Only by understanding the game can they appreciate the fun. But it is impossible for a person who doesn't know baseball at all to read the rules and regulations of 10. How to make a person who doesn't know baseball walk into the baseball field has become the biggest problem in baseball promotion in China. DSM is clearly aware of this. During the baseball league, it printed many booklets to learn to play baseball, simplified the rules of baseball, and set up commentators on the spot. But knowing doesn't mean being interested, and China people's interest in baseball has not been cultivated.

The second difficulty: site and equipment.

But according to statistics, it is said that golf is a sport for very few people. At present, there are more golf courses than baseball fields in China. Of course, this is also the reason why the baseball population is too small. But there are so few professional baseball fields that people who love baseball can't experience it personally, and people who don't know baseball can't learn and experience it.

Helmets, clubs, balls, clothing and other professional equipment are expensive, and at the same time. Strict requirements also make it impossible for this sport to be carried out as easily as football and basketball. The third difficulty: tradition
