Ya know, I was half expecting you to say "I know you are, but what am I?"
I was close.
Anyway. Yes, Cricket is probably the closest thing to baseball thats played professionally. I'm sure it has some of the same nuances and details. However, the main difference is that the ball has to bounce before reaching the batsman....and the target area is a lot lower and smaller (the wicket)....if the ball hits the wicket hard enough to knock the bails off, he's out.....if the batsman just stands in front of the wicket and it hits his leg, he's out. Cricket has bunts, we just call it a defensive stroke though.
Edited for accuracy.
