What Is The Definition Of Clear The Bases In Baseball?
1. To clear the bases in baseball occurs when a batter gets a timely hit with one or more runners on base, and it allows them to all cross home plate safely. This type of hit can anything from a home run to a basic single, as long as it gives the baserunners enough time to reach home. However, this phrase is typically used when there are two or more runners on base, and the batter hits an extra-base hit that clears the bases and sends everyone home. Also, if a one of the runners is thrown out, this term is not typically used.
