Which is a better deal, сomcast triple play or double play?

How do they get the numbers for a out,double play or triple play, for instance SS to 2ND to 1st is a 4-6-3?

  • always wondered, you hear annoncers saying 4-6-3 double play but what does it mean?

  • Answer:

    Pitcher - 1 Catcher - 2 First Base - 3 Second Base - 4 Third Base - 5 Shortstop - 6 Left Field - 7 Center Field - 8 Right Field - 9 When announcers say 4-6-3 double play, it means second baseman to shortstop to first baseman and they got two outs. These numbers are meant for keeping score in a scorebook. That's why the announcers say it. If you're listening on the radio, it's much easier for you to keep score if they say the numbers for you. Some common double plays are: 6-4-3 (SS-2B-1B) 4-6-3 (2B-SS-1B) 5-4-3 (3B-2B-1B) 1-2-3 (bases loaded) (P-C-1B) 3-6-3 (1B-SS-1B) 3-6-1 (assuming the first baseman is going towards second when he fields it) (1B-SS-P)

when you hear an announcer say '4-6-3' he's refering to their position on the field. Each player has a numbered position in baseball... Pitcher - 1 Catcher -2 1st base - 3 2nd base - 4 3rd base - 5 SS - 6 Left Field - 7 Center - 8 Right - 9 So when it's SS to 2nd to 1st base... 6-4-3 double play. Matt

here is what the numbers mean: 1-pitcher; 2-catcher; 3-first baseman; 4-second baseman; 5-third baseman; 6-shortstop; 7-left fielder; 8-center fielder; 9-right fielder. ss to 2nd to 1st is 6-4-3.

Everyone answered it correctly. So, to spare the time it takes to type Pitcher=1 Catcher=2 blah, blah, blah, I will just throw in some extra info. If the ball comes into contact with ANY defender in anyway, that defenders number will be part of the score. Example, a batter hits a line drive that ricochet's off the pitchers ankle then rolls to the shortstop, who then throws the runner out at first would be scored........1-6-3. Make sense? I was a pitcher in college and took a line drive off the dome, which was recovered by the first baseman for the out. That was a painful 1-3 in the scorekeeper's book!
