MLB player Chris Archer throws right.

Its still an out. If the runner is thrown out before reaching the next base it doesn't matter where the ball was hit. In tr same scenario say the barter hits a ball off the outfield wall but the runner at second twists an ankle and hits the ground and is unable to advance, it'd still be a force play and no hit.

To answer the question it is scored as a fielders choice or 7-5 FC. The batter is charged with an at bat and not credit with a hit.

they keep the balls in a big freezer in the stadium so they dont prepare the balls they just go get thom as the game goes on

I have read that it is 60% in the majors.

I'm answering this as a baseball fan of over 40 years ...

No team is to be credited with being first as far as walk off homeruns. All through baseball history games have occasionally been won with a last-at-bat home run, but the term "walk off" came into use after Kirk Gibson's amazing 9th inning home run in the first game of the 1988 World Series between the Dodgers and the Oakland A's.

The common understanding of "walk off" is where a batter on the home team hits a home run in their final at-bat that wins them the game. It implies that a batter, after hitting the home run, can almost casually walk around the bases to lengthen the celebration and then walk off the field. However, I have heard that originally the "walk off" term was coined by a pitcher, who the moment after giving up a no-doubt, game-ending homer, simply walked off the field without even turning his head to watch the flight of the ball over the fence.

Sportscasters, though, chose to use to term in an offensive sense compared to referring to the pitcher. Thus, baseball has another piece of terminology to describe this fairly common, game-ending moment.

Excellent answer to this question. The "walk-off" is a media term and is not an official, nor unofficial statistic in baseball. Raw.

Double plays initiated by a batter hitting a ground ball (but not a fly ball or line drive) are recorded in the official statistic GIDP (Grounded Into a Double Play), an indicator of one form of batting ineptitude. Should a run score on a play in which a batter hits into a double play (the first-and-third or bases loaded, none-out situation), official rules of scoring deny the batter credit for an RBI, although the batter always gets credit for an RBI on a one-out groundout or a fielder's choice play in which a baserunner scores.

When the original Yankee Stadium opened on April 18, 1923, the measurements were, 296 feet to the left field pole, 301 to right and 461 feet to the deepest part of the park, in left-center. The playing field was not evenly balanced, so dead center was not the deepest part. After it was re-modeled in 1974-75, it measured 310 to right, 312 to left and 430 to the deepest part in left-center.

In baseball lingo, a farm team is a minor league team.

In the US Civil War many men from different parts of the country played similar games. During the war they all came together and the rules became codified. When the war was over and they went home, baseball became popular all over in the next 30 years baseball became a professional sport.

It started to grow more in the 20's and 30's with radio, and then again after WW2 with television.

Through the 2009 season, that is John Olerud at .315. Olerud played for the Mets between 1997-1999 and had 524 base hits in 1662 at bats for the team.

David Wright is second all time at .309.

Through games played on June 15, 2009, Dave Bush and Jamie Wright hold the Brewers' franchise record for hit batsmen with 49. The next batter Bush hits this season will give him the record outright.
