2. What does pull mean in baseball

To hit a ball to the same side of the field in which you bat

In baseball, when you are batting and pull a pitch, you hit the ball to the same side of the field in which you are batting. For example, if you are a left-handed batter and hit the ball to the same side of the field you are hitting from (the right side of home plate), you pulled the ball.

Pulling a pitch is common in baseball because batters naturally hit the ball to the same side of the field they are batting on when they hit it well. It is harder to hit the ball to the opposite side of the field (oppo) because you have to get an outside pitch (pitch away from you), allowing your bat to swing later through the strike zone.

Because batters tend to pull pitches, opposing teams often employ shifts to move their players to the side of the field the batter is batting from. Also, pitchers pitch them inside (close to the batter) to get them to pull it.

Example

Williams needs to stop pulling the ball
Agreed. If he could hit it oppo, he'd raise his average by 100 points
Schwarber pulls a pitch for a massive HR
