Batting Cages
|
The player currently batting in a game is said to be at the plate, at bat, or up to bat (shortened to up) |
|---|
| To keep the game moving at an orderly pace, the attached batter due up waits to take his circumvolution in a circle (actually considerable or imaginary) between his team's dugout or bench and the batter's box, and is said to be on deck, with the http://www.pitchingmachines.net/Batting-Cages-s/24.htm circle known as the on deck circle |
| The player in the batting lineup after the on deck batter is said to be in the hole. |
The defense attempts to get the batter out. The pitcher's main role in this is to throw the ball in such a expedient that he or she either strikes out or cannot hit it cleanly so that the defense can get him or her out.
