What is a fielder’s choice in baseball?
In: Other
This happens when there’s a guy already on base (like first base), and then they guy at bat hits the ball and the guys on the field will choose which guy they want to get out. Maybe they’re not doing a double play because it wasn’t hit very hard, and they’ve got the guy on first running to second as well as the guy that just hit running to first.
So the guy that did not get out, is on base by fielder’s choice, since the fielder could have chosen to throw him out, but didn’t. Something like that.
