In Baseball Statistics , a player who advances around all the bases to score is credited with a run (R), sometimes referred to as a "run scored." A pitcher can be given runs on his statistics, which includes Earned Run s and runs scored due to Errors . A team is said to "manufacture a run" when it takes them several plays to move a baserunner around the bases and then help him score. The Lineup is often designed in such a way to maximize the possibility of manufacturing a run in the first Inning . The general process of manufacturing a run begins with a batter getting to First Base . He will somehow move over to Second Base often through a Sacrifice Bunt or Stolen Base . Since the leadoff hitter is usually fast, a single will almost always score him from second base. If the runner is on second with no outs, sometimes a sacrifice will move him to Third , and then a Sacrifice Fly will enable him to score. Manufacturing runs is very important in close games. Special types of runs are Home Run and Grand Slam . |
