2008 was the last year baseball and softball were contested, and we're so excited for them to return to the 2020 Olympics.
The teams will consist of nine players in both competitions. The objective is to score as many runs (running around all bases to home plate) as possible.
Baseball teams to keep an eye on: USA, Cuba, and South Korea.
Softball teams to keep an eye on: USA and Japan.
