Period 5 P.E. Blog #3 Striking and Fielding

Blog Due: Monday September 15, 2008


Athletes,


We are starting a Stiking and Fielding after track and field. A Striking and Fielding sport is one in which one team is an offensive team and is stiking an object towards a defensive team which is fielding the ball. The offensive team stays offensive and defensive team stays defensive until a switch occurs such as the middle or end of the inning.


In order to better understand the concepts being explained in class, please take a moment and define 3 of the following terms:


Pop Fly
Foul
Force Out
Walk
Double Play
Triple Play
Fielders Choice
Infield Fly Rule (extra credit)
Cutoff Man
Relay
Backing up a Base
Sacrifice
Tagging Up
Rundown
1st and 3rd base coach
Ground Rule Double
Out Of Play
Stealing
Leading
Bunting

A pop fly is a fly ball that goes very high while not traveling very far laterally.

A ground rule double is when the batter hits a ball that lands in the field of play, then bounces over the wall. The batter is awarded two bases.

A walk is when the batter accumulates four balls before he gets three strikes. After the fourth ball, the batter is awarded first base.

Infeild Fly Rule- baseball- if there is an infield pop fly the runner can advance instead of waiting to tag up.

Double Play-baseball- when you get the lead off runner and the batter out in one play.

Tagging Up-baseball- when there is a pop fly in the out field the player goes halfway to the base but then if the ball is caught he has to run back to the base. After that the player can try to advance to the next base.

Feilders Choise-baseball- When there is more than one player going to the bases the feilder decides which player to get out, preferably the lead runner.

Foul- when the batter hits the baseball but the ball flies out of bounds of the foul line.

fielders choice-
(ex.) when there is a man on first and second, and the person fielding the ball has a choice to throw to first, second or third.

force out-
(ex.) when there is a man on first, and the batter hits the ball. All the fielder has to do is step on first or second.

infield fly rule-
when there is a man on first, and the batter hits a pop up in the infield. The batter is automatically out so that the fielder can't "accidentally" drop the ball and make a double play.-less than 2 outs

pop-fly: a short, high-fly ball
foul: A ball that lands outside the first or third base foul lines.
walk: An award given to the batter after the pitcher delivers 4 balls. If a hitter receives 4 balls during an at bat, they automatically advance to first base.

Pop fly- In baseball, when a pitcher pitches the ball and the batter hits it with the top part of the bat (when it is at a horizontal angle) and the ball goes into the air with a high arc. This type of hit does not go very far, and is easy to catch.

Foul-When the batter hits the ball to the right of the right field line (designated by home plate and the right foul pole) or to the left of the left field line (designated by home plate and the left foul pole). the degree measure between the two foul lines is 90 degrees.

Force out- when a fielder throws to a base where a runner is going to, and if the runner has another runner going to the base that he just came from, he has to go to the next base, assuming the runner going to the base that the first runner had is also forced. If the ball gets to the base that the forced runner is going to, than the forced runner is out.

(Extra Credit Term)Infield fly rule- when the batter hits a pop up to the infield when there are a minimum of two forced runners already on bases. If this happens the batter gets called out and the play is dead. The reason that this is implimented is because if the fielder drops it, the runners are now forced and it would lead to an easy double play, since they would have a small lead because if he catches it and they are off the base, they have to get back to the base that they were just on before the ball gets there. If catches it, the runners have to tag up. If the runners have a small lead, than the fileder would drop it to get the easy double play. If the runners have a large lead, or are even already running to the base, he could catch it and get them on the tag.

foul is when the ball is out of the foul line afer being hit

Pop fly = short in distance but high in height

stealing: defense gets the ball from the offensive player (not sure, i hope it is a pretty good guess :D )

Leading- Begining to advance to the next base before the pitch is thrown

Sacrifice- A bunt, instead of smacking the ball the hitter holds out the bat and lets the ball hit it so it doen't go ver far, this allows the runners to get in good scoring position

Rundown- also called a pickle, is a situation that occurs when the baserunner is stranded between two bases. When the base runner attempts to advance to the next base, he is cut off by the defensive player who has a live ball and attempts to return to his previous base before being tagged out. As he is doing this, the defenseman throws the ball past the base runner to the previous base, forcing him to reverse directions again. This is repeated until the runner is put out or reaches a base safely

Walk-Its when a pitcher throws 4 balls and sends the batter to first and you can also be walked by getting hit by the ball.

Stealing-its when a runner advances to the next base right after the pitch is thrown and before the batter swings

Sacrifice- its when a there is a man on base and the batter hits short ball to send the runner to next base and the sacrifices him self by getting out. Also, there is sacrifice fly. Thats when there is a man on third and you purposely hit a fly ball into the outfield to send the runner home and to sacrifice your self out.
