What is a sac bunt?
Does it hurt your batting average?
A sacrifice bunt occurs when a player is successful in his attempt to advance a runner (or multiple runners) at least one base with a bunt. In this vein, the batter is sacrificing himself (giving up an out) in order to move another runner closer to scoring.
a successful sacrifice bunt doesn't count as an at-bat and therefore doesn't hurt a player's batting average (BA) or on-base percentage (OBP) because it's considered a strategic play, not an offensive attempt to get a hit

If the softball hits the foul pole is it considered fair or foul?

What is a Sacrifice fly and does it count against your batting average?
