Joueur habituellement efficace au bâton, donc rarement retiré sur trois prises. 2, record 2, French, - meilleur%20frappeur
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Lorsqu'un joueur de cette trempe prend place dans le cercle d'attente, l'entraîneur de l'équipe à la défensive, choisit parfois de changer de lanceur si trop d'hommes occupent les coussins et qu'un seul ou aucun retrait n'a été effectué au bâton dans cette demi-manche. Quand il s'amène au marbre, les voltigeurs, connaissant sa puissance de frappe, prennent position au champ extérieur aux endroits appropriés pour capter la balle. 2, record 2, French, - meilleur%20frappeur
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Les termes de cette fiche ne sont pas nécessairement synonymes : ils découlent plutôt l'un de l'autre. Ainsi, un joueur considéré comme «frappeur redoutable» est habituellement l'un des «meilleurs frappeurs» de son club, sinon de la ligue dans laquelle il évolue. L'expression «gros canon» signifie, dans le sport comme dans le langage courant, ce que l'on a de plus puissant, de meilleur. 2, record 2, French, - meilleur%20frappeur
