1. Sacrifice fly

   In baseball, a sacrifice fly (sometimes abbreviated to sac fly) is defined by Rule 9.08(d): "Score a sacrifice fly when, before two are out, the batter hits a ball in flight handled by an outfielder or an infielder running in the outfield in fair or foul territory that is caught, and a run scores after the catch, or is dropped, and a runner scores, if in the scorer's judgment the runner could have scored after the catch had the fly ball been caught."It is called a "sacrifice" fly because the batter allows a teammate to score a run, while sacrificing his own ability to do so. Sacrifice flies are traditionally recorded in box scores with the designation "SF".

1. sacrifice fly

   A sacrifice fly is a term used in baseball to describe a strategic play in which a batter intentionally hits a fly ball deep enough into the outfield to allow a runner on third base to tag up and score a run, with the understanding that this will likely result in the batter himself being put out. The batter is "sacrificing" their chance at a hit to advance the wider team strategy.

1. Sacrifice fly

   In baseball, a sacrifice fly is a batted ball that satisfies four criteria: ⁕There are fewer than two outs when the ball is hit. ⁕The ball is hit to the outfield, or to infield foul territory. ⁕The batter is put out because an outfielder catches the ball on the fly. ⁕A runner who is already on base scores on the play. It is called a "sacrifice" fly because the batter presumably intends to cause a teammate to score a run, while sacrificing his own ability to do so.
