A Sacrifice Fly is only credited when a baserunner scores on a fly ball out. In this case the batter is given an RBI (run batted in) and not charged with an at bat (you will be 0-0). Moving a runner from 1st to 2nd or from 2nd to 3rd with a fly ball out may be admirable, but is not counted as a Sacrifice Fly (you will be 0-1)

It is a fly ball that's hit deep enough to the outfield so a base runner can successfully advance to the next base. The batter is not charged with an at bat, but credited with a sacrifice and does not effect his batting average..When a runner is on 3rd and scores on the play, an RBI is credited to the batter.

A type of batted ball where a run is scored on the play while the batter is put out by a caught ball by the defense. The batter is credited with a Sacrifice Fly (SF) and a Run Batted In (RBI) but does not receive an At Bat (AB).

Also referred to as a "Sac Fly."

n't know that it's ever changed. Neither a sacrifice fly or a sacrifice bunt count as an official at-bat, so the out recorded doesn't go against your batting average. Bear in mind, though, for it to be a sacrifice fly, a run has to score on the play.

The answer is wrong, for example when Williams hit 406- He had at least 12 RBI"S by way of a fly ball- He got charged a time at bat- His average would have been much higher

I think, way back in history there might have had that rule, but it came or came back in 1954? I know that change allowed Gil Hodges to hit 300 for the first time- I think he had over 20

It did start in 1954- He had 19- Next year he had 10- Hit 304- Highest in career

In competitive mens slowpitch softball, a "sac fly" is an out. However, the batter still receives the RBI.
