groundballs
Low batted balls
Groundballs is the plural of groundball, a baseball or softball term for a batted ball that rolls or bounces along the ground rather than flying through the air.
Pitchers who induce groundballs typically allow fewer extra-base hits: He's a groundball pitcher who keeps the ball out of the outfield.
Also spelled as two words: ground balls.
