BATTER-BASERUNNER [1 record]

Record 1 1998-01-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Baseball and Softball
DEF

A player from the offensive team who, as a hitter, strikes the ball in fair territory and becomes a runner before reaching the first base.

OBS

An intermediate status which changes definitely when the "hitter-runner" reaches safely the first base; he thus becomes a "base runner" or "runner".

French

Domaine(s)
  • Baseball et softball
DEF

Joueur de l'équipe offensive entre son statut de frappeur au marbre et celui de coureur une fois la balle frappée en lieu sûr.

OBS

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».
