Contact hit的意思
"Contact hit" is a term used in baseball to describe a situation where a batter makes contact with the ball but the result is not a clean hit. This can refer to a variety of outcomes, including:
-
A foul ball: When the batter hits the ball and it goes out of play to the foul territory, it is considered a foul ball. Foul balls do not count as hits unless the batter is hit by the pitch and the ball goes into fair territory.
-
A weak ground ball or pop-up: If the batter makes contact with the ball but hits a weak ground ball that is easily fielded by an infielder or a pop-up that is caught by a defensive player, it is not a hit but rather an out.
-
A bunt: A bunt is a purposeful contact play where the batter taps the ball into play, often to advance runners. A successful bunt can result in a hit, but if the batter is out while executing a bunt, it is not considered a hit.
-
A dribbler: A dribbler is a very weak ground ball that may or may not be fielded cleanly by the defense. If the defense makes an error and the batter reaches base, it is scored as a hit.
In general, "contact hit" implies that the batter made contact with the ball but the result was not a clean, well-struck hit that would likely result in the batter reaching base safely.
