extra-base hits

Multi-bag safe arrivals

Extra-base hits are hits in baseball that allow the batter to reach second base or beyond—doubles, triples, and home runs.

The term distinguishes these from singles, where the batter reaches only first base.

Extra-base hits measure a hitter's power: He led the league in extra-base hits last season.
