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

What date did the sacrifice fly rule change from an at bat to not an at bat?
As long as the sacrifice fly has been a part of the MLB rules the batter has not been charged with a time at bat. However, the rule has been discontinued and continued several times. MLB started the sacrifice fly rule in the 1908 season. It was discontinued in the 1931 season only to become a rule again in 1939. It was discontinued again in 1940 and restarted in 1954. So there was no sacrifice fly rule in MLB prior to 1908, between 1931-1938, and between 1940-1953.
