Chris Sloan's blog

In an effort to make the game of Major League Baseball faster and more exciting, a host of dramatic changes have been implemented for the 2023 season. These rule changes include a pitch clock to limit the time between pitches, a ban on shifts to create more offensive production, as well as rule alterations related to the pace of play, replays, intangibles, and roster construction.

In baseball, a designated hitter (DH) is a player who takes the place of another position player, usually the pitcher. This rule allows teams to use an extra batter in order to increase their offensive output.

These terms are used to describe the result of a play, with safe indicating that a baserunner has reached a base without being tagged or forced out and out indicating that a baserunner has been tagged or forced out. But what exactly does safe mean in baseball?
