From the 2006 book, The Official Rules of Baseball Illustrated, by David Nemec, I will present Rule 2 of the Code - the definitions of baseball terms - over the course of the 2012 baseball season. Today’s terms are: Base, Base Coach, Base On Balls.
Base – one of four points which must be touched by a runner in order to score a run; more usually applied to the canvas bags and the rubber plate which mark the base points.
Base Coach – a team member in uniform who is stationed in the coach’s box at first or third base to direct the batter and the runners.
Base On Balls – an award of first base granted to a batter who, during her time at bat, receives four pitches outside the strike zone.
