No. The batter doesn't have to run after he hits a fair ball, but he won't be a Baseball player very long if he doesn't. A coach won't tolerate a player who doesn't want to play.

∙ 13y agoThe most common way a home run is hit is when a batter hits a ball over the fence in fair territory. The other way a home run can be hit is called an inside-the-park home run, which is when a batter hits a fair ball that does not leave playable territory and the batter reaches home plate before the defensive team puts him out and there are no errors on the play.
A hit that allows the batter to make a complete circuit of the diamond and score a run, either hit over the fence, or and inside the park home run, which is when the ball is hit and allows the batter to score a run without the ball even leaving the park
In a run and hit the runner has the option to steal or not depending on whether he gets a good jump and the batter has the option to swing or not depending on if it is a pitch he wants to hit. In a hit and run, the runner steals and the batter is supposed to swing. The run and hit is a safer play.
