In baseball, a hit is when a player (called the batter or
batsman) who is trying to hit the ball that is thrown (or
pitched) by the thrower (called the pitcher) hits the ball in
such a way as to let him move forward at least one base. How a
hit is made [change] The pitcher throws the ball towards the
batter standing at home plate (or home base), who tries to hit
the ball and score a run. After the batter hits the ball he runs
as fast as he can around the bases and tries to get to a base
before he is called out by an umpire. If he gets to a base
before he is called out he is safe and the next batter comes
forward and tries to hit a ball from the pitcher. The old batter
who is on base becomes a runner. Types of hit [change] - single
- a hit that moves the batter one base towards home plate. -
double - a hit that moves the batter two bases towards home
plate. - triple - a hit that moves the batter three bases
towards home plate. - home run - a hit that moves the batter all
four bases and back to home plate. Ther
