What is a sac hit?
-
Bunt a runner over. I don't think they count sac flies and sac hits the same.

If you time your swing just right on a changeup up the middle, you'll hit a perfect-perfect line drive that nails an infielder right in the sac. That's a sac hit. lol

Serious answer, sacrifice hit is when you bunt the ball to move the guy over and presumably give up an out, but reach base because of an error or fielder’s choice.

What?? That second part doesn’t make sense.

Oops, I left out part of the description.
If you bunt and you make it to first before the throw, then it’s just an infield hit
If you bunt and they go to first and get the out, it’s a sacrifice hit, and doesn’t count as an AB.Last part is harder to explain with the fielders choice but would be akin to runners on first and second, hitter bunts, lead runner goes to third, throw goes to second to get trail runner but hitter safe at first, you still get credit for the sacrifice hit and it doesn’t count as an AB.

They wanted a sac bunt. Is it called a sac hit other places in the world, specificity in San Diego? This game is the only place I’ve heard it referred to as that.

It’s interesting how the sacrifice rule changed over the years.

What’s always been interesting to me, and I understand the rule, but why you get credit for a sacrifice if you bunt the runner from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd, but if you do the same on a flyball, that doesn’t count, even though it counts as a sacrifice to score the runner. Note: I do know it could count as a sacrifice fly if you have a fast enough runner to score on a fly out from second.
