Best Answer

The first batter in either the top or the bottom of an inning hits a home run. By definition, this is a one-run homer, because it is impossible for any runner to be on base when the first batter comes up.

It can mean a couple of things. Typically, a lead off home run is hit by the first batter in the first inning of a Baseball game. It could also mean that the first batter in an inning hit a home run.

It is when the home team wins a game with a home run in the bottom of the ninth or in extra innings.

A walk-off home run is a home run that ends the game. It must be the run that gives the home team the lead in the final inning of the game.

If there is a walk off home run with a player on third does the player that hit the home run get credit for the home run since the player walk off the field?

yes i was at a game ware this happendHowever, the player on third who did not go home and touch home plate is out and his run does not count, the batter still must touch all bases and home plate to get credit for the home run.clarification:If this took place with 2 outs, it would not be a walkoff home run as once the runner at 3rd left the field he could be called out for being out of the base path, if the umpire decided not to make this call then he would be out the moment the batter rounded third and "passed him on the bases" -- this would result in a triple for the batter and the inning would end, still tied
