What Is The Definition Of Runners In Scoring Position In Baseball?
1. In baseball and softball, when a runner is on second base or third base, they are considered to be in scoring position. If a batter hits a single, it should give the runners on second or third base enough time to reach home plate and score.
If a runner is on third base, in addition to scoring on a hit, they can also score by either a wild pitch, pass ball or sacrifice fly.
