Inside-the-park home run
In baseball parlance, an inside-the-park home run or "leg home run" is a play where a hitter scores a home run without hitting the ball out of play.
To score an inside-the-park home run the player must run, round, and touch all four bases before a fielder tags him out, the same as he would do for a double or triple. The play often occurs due to a fielding mishap by the defense or a strange bounce in the outfield. If the fielder commits an error during the act, however, the play is not scored as a home run, but rather advancing on an error. The classic situation occurs when two outfielders collide on their way toward receiving a ball hit to the warning track; the missed ball then bounces first off the track and then low off the fence high and far away from the outfielders. Another situation occurs when the ball tips off the glove of a diving fielder away from the other fielder. |
Mark "IP" next to the Home Run box to show that it was hit in the park Triple with an overthrow error by the catcher to the thirdbaseman to go home - not marked as a home run |
