baserunner
Occupant of second
A baserunner is a baseball player who has reached base safely and is attempting to advance around the bases to score.
The term applies from the moment a batter reaches first base until they score, are put out, or the half-inning ends: The baserunner was caught stealing second.
Also spelled as two words: base runner.
