What is a single double and triple in baseball

In baseball, a single, double, and triple refer to specific types of hits that a batter can achieve when they hit the ball into the field of play. Each type of hit is classified based on the number of bases the batter advances and the number of runs that are scored by the batter and any players already on base.

Single: A single is the most common type of hit in baseball. It occurs when the batter hits the ball into the field of play and reaches first base safely without any fielder throwing the ball to a base before the batter arrives. A single is also known as a "base hit" or simply a "hit."

Double: A double occurs when the batter hits the ball into the field of play and reaches second base safely without any fielder throwing the ball to a base before the batter arrives. A double is worth two bases, and it allows the batter and any runners on base to advance two bases.

Triple: A triple is the rarest type of hit in baseball. It occurs when the batter hits the ball into the field of play and reaches third base safely without any fielder throwing the ball to a base before the batter arrives. A triple is worth three bases, and it allows the batter and any runners on base to advance three bases.
