Early Forms:

Baseball has been traced back as far as the 1300s in various countries and
each country had their own form. A few of the forms are mentioned. The
Russians' game was called lapta. Lapta was a game that involved a field of
about 150 feet and was with 5 to 10 players on each team. The batter would
hit the ball and try to round the bases without getting hit by the ball. The
Germans played a similar game, Schlagball. A bowler threw a ball to a
striker, who hit it with a club and then tried to run around a circuit of bases
without getting hit with the ball by a defender. Also many folk games had
characteristics that are similar to baseball, rounders and cricket. These are
just the origins that baseball can be traced from and before 1845 and the
actual evolution of the game is unknown.
