Même si le «frappeur» devient «coureur» dès que la balle frappée tombe en territoire des bonnes balles, on dit néanmoins indifféremment que le «frappeur est retiré au premier» ou que «le coureur est retiré au premier», d'où la désignation de «frappeur-coureur». Cependant, une fois le frappeur-coureur sauf au premier but, on ne le désigne plus que comme «coureur». 2, record 3, French, - frappeur%2Dcoureur
