base hits

Successful at-bats statistically

Base hits is the plural of base hit, a baseball term for when a batter successfully reaches base by hitting the ball into fair territory without an error or fielder's choice.

Singles, doubles, triples, and home runs all count as base hits.

The statistic measures a player's basic hitting ability: He led the league in base hits last season.
