A squeeze is when there is when a sacrifice bunt is called for with a runner on third. The idea is that when the batter bunts the ball, he will be thrown out at first, allowing the runner on third base to score. In a suicide squeeze, the runner takes off from third as soon as the pitcher begins his delivery toward the plate. If the batter makes contact with the ball then the play will most likely be successful. The problem comes when the batter fails to make contact with the ball. If this happens the play is most likely going to be at home plate. This play normally works best with someone who you can count on to make contact with the ball no matter the pitch.
There are two types of squeeze play. Both take place when bunting with a man on third: * A safety squeeze is when the runner waits until the ball is bunted before running home * A suicide squeeze is when the runner takes off with the pitch The safety squeeze has become less common as defenses have improved, and a runner who waits for the ball to be bunted will often be thrown out at the plate.
The disadvantage of the suicide squeeze is that if the batter misses the bunt, or pops it up, the runner is likely to be retired.
When people just refer to a squeeze play they're usually referring to the suicide squeeze.
A suicide squeeze is when the runner on third breaks for home on the pitch, committing himself before the batter hits the ball. It is called "suicide" because if the batter misses the bunt and the catcher catches it cleanly, the runner will likely be out.
There is a play in Baseball known as the 'suicide squeeze'. It is a high risk play done in an attempt to score a run and is usually seen only when the score is tied or there is a one or two run difference.
The situation where a suicide squeeze may be attempted is when there is a runner on third base and less than two outs. When the pitcher throws to the batter, the runner on third starts for home and the batter turns and makes an attempt to bunt the ball. If the batter misses the bunt attempt, the catcher will be in possession of the ball and the runner coming home from third will be tagged out. If the batter makes a successful bunt but the ball goes in the air and is caught by a fielder, it will be a double play as the runner will be doubled off of third base. However, if the batter makes a successful bunt on the ground the runner coming home from third will score.
