The hitter is ahead 2-1; the pitcher is ahead 1-2.  \nBackdoor breaking ball: can refer to any pitch that breaks from outside the strike zone back into the strike zone.  \nBackstop: the fenced area behind home plate  \nBag: another term for base  \nBalk: When the pitcher makes an illegal movement or delivery. Results in baserunners being awarded the next base.  \nBang-bang play: A play on the bases that is very close-where the runner is barely safe or barely out.  \nBarrel it up: When a hitter hits the ball hard, in the center of the barrel of the bat. Batters’ box: the chalk-lined rectangle the hitter stands in during an at-bat. Batting Average (average): A primary hitting statistic-hits divided by at-bats. Base hit: when a hitter reaches first on a batted ball that isnot misplayed by the other team and does not cause any baserunnersto get out.  \nBase open: when first base is unoccupied. Or, when second base is unoccupied with runnerson first and third. Pitchers will adjust their pitch-calling strategy when thereis abase open, because walks will not force runners to move up.  \nBases loaded: when a runner is onevery base  \nBat around: When every batter in the lineup comes up tobatina single inning, and the first batter of the inning is up at the plate for his second at-bat.  \nBat flip: When a hitter tosses his bat into the air or into foul territory as he leaves the batter’s box. Bat flips are gestures of pride following a home run.  \nBatters’ eye: the darkened area beyond the center field wall that provides contrast with the white baseball, so the hitter can see the pitch better. Advertising and signage isnot allowed in this area.  \nBattery: the pitcher and catcher combine to make the battery of a team. They are known as “battery mates.”  \nBleeder (or seeing-eye single): A poorly hit ground ball that barely makes it through the infield  \nBlooper: A fly ball hit weakly between the infield and outfield.  \nBooted: when a fielder makes an error. He booted that easy ground ball.  \nBullpen: where the relief pitchers sit and get warmed up before entering a game. Also refers toa practice pitching session. They’re calling down to the bullpen to get someone up; he usually throws his bullpen two days before his start.  \nBump (or hill): another word for pitching mound  \nBunt: When the hitter holds his bat out in front of the plate to let the pitched ball hit it, thus producing abunt, which is an intentionally short hit, most typically used to move a baserunner over one base. The hitter squared around to bunt; this maybe a good bunt situation—we’ll see if the hitter squares.  \nBreaking ball: a pitch that breaks, such asa curveball, slider or slurve.  \nCan of corn: a fly ball to the outfield that is easy to catch  \nCaught napping: when a runner is picked offa base  \nChecked swing: When a hitter stops his swing early, trying not to offer atthe pitch. Umpire has discretion to deem ita strike or not. Announcers will often say “excuse me”referring toa checked swing.  \nCleanup hitter: Fourth batter in the lineup and usually the one with the most power on the team.  \nClear the bases: When a hit scores all the runnerson base.  \nClutch: a strong performance ina pressure situation. That was a clutch hit;he’s one of the team’s most clutch hitters.  \nCloser: The team’s best relief pitcher. Pitches the ninth inning in a save situation. Changeup: an off-speed pitch that is mostly straight and looks like a fastball, but may have sinking action or arm side run  \nChin music: when a pitcher throws one up and into the hitter(near his head)  \nComebacker: a ball hit back atthe pitcher  \nCount: The number of balls and strikes on a batter. 3-2 = three balls and two strikes; 1-1 = one balland one s","cbCaibRDu2iWTCoj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibRDu2iWTCoj","pdf",161044,"English","# Common Terms\n## Inning, Pitching, and Counts\n## Hitting and Statistics\n## Bases and Fielding","[{\"question\":\"What does “1-2-3 inning” mean in baseball?\",\"answer\":\"It refers to an inning where the pitcher retires all three hitters in a row, recording three consecutive outs.\"},{\"question\":\"What is “ERA” and how is it described?\",\"answer\":\"ERA stands for earned run average and is defined as earned runs divided by innings pitched, multiplied by 9.\"},{\"question\":\"What does “dropped third strike” result in?\",\"answer\":\"If the catcher does not catch the third strike in the air, the batter can run to first base if it’s unoccupied, and the catcher must tag or throw the runner out.\"}]","Baseball Basics - Lingo Cheat Sheet | PDF",1790582356]
