Best Answer

a walk off win is when a Baseball team is tied or down and it is the bottom of the 9th or later in the game and someone either hits in the winning run or hits a homerun ____

the original walk-off win is where the home team in the bottom of the 9th has the go-ahead-run on third base with less than 2 outs. If the player up to bat hits the ball far enough to the outfield that even if caught, there is sufficient time for the runner from third to tag and score, the outfielder has no incentive to catch the ball and the players simply walk off to the win.

Is Walk off baseball definition limited to a walk off home run What about an RBI that scores the winning run from 1st The batter would have to run to 1st before the runner could score from 1st?

The term 'walk off' refers to when the home team wins the game in the ninth inning or a later inning. It doesn't have anything to do with the type of play but simply that whatever play occurred was the play that scored the winning run for the home team. You can have a walk off base bit (single, double, triple, or home run), a walk off walk, a walk off hit by pitch, a walk off error, even a walk off balk.
