What Is The Definition Of Total Bases In Baseball?
1. Total bases in baseball is a statistic that tracks the number of bases a player gains after a hit.
The following totals are the number of bases a player gains after each type of hit.
- Single = 1 bases
- Double = 2 bases
- Triple = 3 bases
- Home Run = 4 bases
Total bases are only counted for hits and not for any other means of getting on-base, such as for walks. In addition, if a player advances a base due to a passed ball, error or when a batter puts the ball into play, the bases gained do not count towards the total base number.
