In baseball, baserunning is the act of running around the bases performed by members of the team at bat. In general, baserunning is a tactical part of the game with the goal of eventually reaching home to score a run. The goal of batting is generally to produce baserunners, or help move baserunners along. Runners on second or third base are considered to be in scoring position since a normal hit, even a single, will often score them. Part of the goal of a runner and a batter is to get the runner into scoring position. ==Becoming a runner== For any baserunning to occur, a batter must initially become a baserunner. This happens when: * he hits a ball onto fair territory, * he receives a base on balls, * he is hit by a pitch, * he hits into a fielder's choice, * the defensive team commits an error that allows him to reach base, * there is umpire interference, * there is an uncaught third strike, or * the catcher or any fielder interferes with him ===The batter-runner=== The term batter-runner is used in official terminology to identify an offensive player from the time he puts a fair ball into play or the third strike is not caught (thereby ceasing to be a batter) until the end of the play he initiated, whether the play results in the player being put out or becoming a runner by legally attaining first base or any subsequent base. The term is generally not applied if the batter hits a foul ball or to a player awarded first base, e.g., for a base on balls. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Baserunning」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
