Answer
Brandon,
The tape that you see is for support.  You may see wrists and thumbs taped the most and its just to give extra support when hitting, fielding, and/or throwing.  Don't worry about all the new things you learn in the game.  All you need to know is how to hit, how to throw, and what to do when the ball is hit.  Keep it simple and easy.

Good Luck,
