My understanding of baseball is really limited, and the only exposure I've had to the sport is by seeing videos of Jon Bois and part of a Yankees–Guardians game the day before.
We would be grateful for any assistance.

First and foremost Have fun!!!
. The company motto is "There is no wrong way to play". There are many ways to play as you will find out as you go along. My suggestion as far as the game goes is to keep it simple until you feel comfortable with the rules and the game. It can take some time so don't get discouraged. We all find something new in the game that we didn't know yesterday or hadn't seen before (happens less and less now than when we first started).
There are a lot of great websites and books out there that will help you with learning everything from the baseball rules, what the statistics and abbreviations mean and how they are calculated, sabremetric principles and research as well as advanced metrics (that will come later). Check out your local library, ebook provider, local bookstores, etc. for books on information on baseball. Good websites would be Mlb, Baseball-Reference and Fangraphs just to name a few.
I wish you luck and keep asking questions if you have them. Lastly always, Always, ALWAYS back your game! I back mine up regularly, like at least once per irl day or sooner if something important happens (like winning the world series or something else that would be detrimental to lose if say the game crashed). Saving the game does not solve this. Make sure that you back it up!
