solo shot

Unaccompanied home run

A solo shot is a home run hit with no runners on base, scoring only the batter.

The term emphasizes that while the hit cleared the fence, it added just one run: Martinez led off the inning with a solo shot to left field.

In baseball statistics, solo shots are the least valuable type of home run but still celebrated as power hitting.
