sacrifice flies
Productive outfield outs
Sacrifice flies are plays in baseball where a batter hits a fly ball caught for an out, but a runner scores by tagging up and advancing after the catch.
The batter sacrifices his at-bat to drive in a run.
Unlike most outs, sacrifice flies don't count against a batter's average: He led the league in sacrifice flies last season.
