I've recently started to become interested in the sport, but find all the rules and stats a little overwhelming. Is there a way to ease yourself into the sport? Does understanding all those stats contribute to understanding the game?

Buy a scorebook and then teach yourself how to keep score watching games on TV. I absolutely love baseball, but lately, because the game has moved beyond stats to analytics, it's becoming hard to watch. Strategy has been replaced by "three true outcomes" ideology and it's ruining the game, imo.

I'll second this, keeping a scorecard is really helpful for understanding how a game is unfolding.
