How do you go around the horn in baseball?
this is usually after someone makes an out, and usually its when a fielder gets the ball and throws it to first base for an out, then the first baseman tosses it to the shortstop, and he tosses it to the 2nd baseman, and he tosses it to the third baseman, and finally he throws it back to the pitcher, now, keep in mind that you jusy toss the ball, don't throw a bullet, lol, also, never go around the horn with men on base, because the runner could try to take an extra base if you do
What does Around the Horn refer to in baseball?
When we played, it referred to throwing the ball around all the infield bases; example; after a player is thrown out at first base; the first baseman will often then throw it to the 3rd baseman upon completion of the play; then the 3rd baseman to the 2nd baseman and the 2nd baseman to the shortstop. It's sort of a way to keep the infielders all warmed up and attentive in between plays. Hope this helps!!
Why do infielders toss the ball around the horn after each out is recorded?
The following is from an article on sportspool.com: " around the horn a 5-4-3 double play, in which the ball goes from the third baseman, to the second baseman, who tags second, to the first baseman, who tags first. Like many baseball terms, this originates from sailing. Until the Panama Canal was built, the quickest way from the North Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean was to sail around Cape Horn, the southernmost tip of South America. By extension, "going around the horn" refers to covering all or several angles of something in baseball. More commonly, this phrase refers to the tradition of tossing the ball around the infield after an out is recorded such that no runners are left on base. For example, after an out recorded at first base, if there are no runners on, the first baseman will toss to the second baseman, and the ball will subsequently be thrown to the shortstop and then the third baseman, and finally back to the pitcher. The order in which the ball is thrown "around the horn," can vary from team to team and from situation to situation, but many teams see this as the "way" to do it and it may even be considered bad luck to deviate from this standard pattern. Also, some teams use this only when a strikeout is recorded. This version starts with the pitch being thrown and the last strike recorded then is quickly thrown from the catcher to the first baseman who proceeds with the regular order. Now it is used more as a method to show off, than to ensure that no runner is left on. "
Where did the baseball term 'around the horn' come from?
In baseball terminology, an "around-the-horn" double play occurs when the third baseman fields a ground ball and throws it to second for an out. The ball is then relayed by a middle infielder to first base for the second out. Since it is the longest way to make a double play, the term is derived from the nautical route from England to India via the horn of Africa.
Why doesn't the ball go to the first baseman when the ball is thrown around the horn?
I think either ball is tossed out, if there is a mark noticed on the ball. You will see the defensive team do this, b/c any mark on the ball enhances the batters ability to see the ball rotation on the pitch, thereby allowing him to effectively anticipate what movement the ball will make.
Why do they throw the ball around the horn after a third strike when did it start?

Why does the catcher throw to third baseman after a strikeout when there are no base runners. Origin and any name or term?
The 'routine' is called around the horn and is a derivation of an old baseball drill that has been done for many, many years. The drill starts with all four infielders and the catcher in their 'normal' position with the catcher holding the ball. The catcher throws to third base as if a player was attempting to steal. The third baseman catches the ball and throws a ground ball to the second baseman who throws to the shortstop who is covering second base as if there was a force play. The shortstop throws to first base as if finishing a double play. The first baseman throws to the catcher and the process begins again.The drill is meant to be done quickly and crisply and designed to practice accurate throwing and hustle.
