Record 2 2022-10-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Baseball and Softball
DEF

A hit in baseball that enables the batter to make a complete circuit of the bases and score a run.

OBS

A home run is usually made by hitting the ball out of the playing field, over the wall or fence in fair territory. A ball hit within the park that allows the batter to circle the bases without an error being committed also counts as a home run; it is then called an "inside-the-park home run."

Key term(s)
  • homerun
  • fourbagger

French

Domaine(s)
  • Baseball et softball
DEF

Coup sûr qui permet au frappeur de faire le circuit complet des buts sans s'arrêter.

OBS

Un coup de circuit se produit habituellement quand la balle a été frappée au-delà de la clôture au fond du terrain, mais il arrive parfois que cela se produise sans que la balle ne quitte le terrain; il s'agit alors d'un coup de circuit à l'intérieur du terrain.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Béisbol y softball
DEF

Golpe que le permite al bateador hacer un circuito completo por las bases sin detenerse y anotar, así, una carrera.

Record 3 2016-05-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Baseball and Softball
CONT

Most teams will bunt the ball toward the first-base line because the third baseman is charging hard; the second baseman then covers first. It is very important to get an out on this play. Lots of teams use the fake bunt and swing, or what is called the "slash."

CONT

Slash bunt. This offensive play takes place when the defense is expecting a bunt and is charging hard prior to the pitch getting ready to field the bunt. Show bunt and when the defense charges pull the bat back with a choked up grip and put the ball in play, on the ground.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Baseball et softball

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Béisbol y softball
CONT

Amago de toque y bateo [...] : El bateador, cuando inicia el movimiento el lanzador, se coloca en forma de tocar la bola, pero rápidamente vuelve a colocar el bate hacia la posición de bateo normal y realizará el swing duro y agresivo hacia la bola. Se utiliza para llamar la atención a la defensa contraria, de que se acerquen para defender un toque y sorprenderla con un batazo duro.
