No offense, but learn english…then baseball.
head coaches are the managers
injuries happen frequently
but also mild injuries could put you on the 15-day DL
playoffs take place every year
top team from each division and a league wild card
division series games: 5 game split
championship series: 7 game split
world series: 7 game split

Hey I’m a big baseball fan so I think I can help you.
The basics of baseball are there are 9 innings, with 3 outs to an inning. An out can be a strikeout (3 strikes and you’re out) or a groundout/flyout. The team that runs around the bases and crosses home the most (scores the most runs) wins. A player can get on base with a hit or a walk (4 balls). Hits include singles (1 base), doubles (2 bases), triples (3 bases), or home runs (4 bases or hitting the ball out of the park). 9 players play on the field, and there are 25 players to a team. The same players hit (play offense) and play in the field (defense). There are five starting pitchers too.
So basically in baseball the head coach is called a manager. He sets the lineup (the order) and calls plays (a steal, where to set the defense, bunt)
The umpire, not empire, who wears a black uniform, is like a referee that calls outs, balls and strikes, etc.
Injuries are very common in baseball because the season is so long (162 games). The 162 game season puts a lot of pressure on the arms, legs, and can make the players very tired. There are often collisions when running too.
In baseball, there are nine innings, as the home team bats in the bottom and the away team in the top of an inning. If the game is tied after nine innings, they will keep playing until someone wins (extra innings). The longest game ever went 25 innings. However, it is not sudden death. If the away team scores first, the home team will have a chance to bat. However, if the home team scores first in a tie, the game is over.
Playoffs occur every year in October. There are 2 rounds leading up the World Series (the Championship): The Division Series and the Championship Series. Each league (the American League and the National League, which is like the AFC and NFC in football) has this and the winners meet in the World Series. The 3 division leaders and one wild card team (the overall best second place team) make the playoffs. There are 2 division series match-ups in each league and the winners meet in the championship series. The winners of the championship series meet in the World Series.
2 ALDS (American League Division Series) winners meet in the ALCS (American League Championship Series). ALCS champion goes to the world series
2 NLDS winners meet in the NLCS. NLCS champion goes to the world series.
Hope that helps and isn’t too confusing!
