baserunners
Players circling bases
Baserunners is the plural of baserunner—a player in baseball or softball who has reached base safely and is attempting to advance.
The term treats the activity as a continuous state: once you're on base, you remain a baserunner until you score, are put out, or the inning ends.
The pitcher kept checking the baserunners.
