What is a "dugout"?

A dugout is a bench area located beside the field in baseball or softball, where players and coaches sit during the game. It is typically dug into the ground to provide protection from the elements, such as the sun or rain. The dugout is where players wait for their turn to bat or to enter the game, and it is also where the coaching staff can provide instructions and manage the team. It is usually positioned near the foul lines, with entrances on either side for easy access to the field.
