What Is The Definition Of Pepper In Baseball?

1. Pepper is a common game played by a baseball team, either pre-game or during practice. The game involves a hitter and a group of fielders who are standing in front of the hitter, about 15-20 feet away, lining up side-by-side. The object of the game is to try to get the hitter out, so that the next fielder in line has a chance to hit.

The game is started off with a pitch to the batter, who then lightly hits the ball to the fielders. The batter wants to hit the ball on the ground. The fielder then fields the ball cleanly and quickly throws the ball back to the hitter, who must repeat the exercise. If the batter, foul tips the ball or misses the pitch, the fielder at the top of the line is then up to bat. If the batter hits a pop-up and a fielder catches the ball before it hits the ground, then the fielder who made the out is awarded their opportunity to bat, regardless of their position in line. The batter who is out must then go to the back of the fielding line.

The game of pepper helps to teach the fundamentals of the game of baseball. It helps a player with hand-eye coordination, hitting, fielding and keeping the ball on the ground as a hitter.

Example Of How Pepper Is Used In Commentary

1. The Astros have about an hour before the first pitch, so they’ll keep warm by playing a little bit of pepper down the right field line.
