Home RunsHR

HR stands for home runs in baseball. A hit that lets the batter circle all four bases on his own, almost always by clearing the outfield fence.

How HR is calculated

Counted. Every home run is also a hit, a run scored and at least one RBI.

An inside-the-park home run counts the same as one hit over the wall; a ball that leaves the park on one bounce is a ground-rule double.

What counts as a good HR?
