Sacrifice Fly (SF)

A Sacrifice Fly ball out occurs when a batter hits the ball in the air and it’s caught before it hits the ground and a runner advances from third base to home.

To be considered a Sacrifice Fly the following conditions must be met:

1. There are fewer than 2 outs
2. The ball is hit to the outfield
3. The batter is out – ball is caught on a fly
4. A runner on base scores on the play

• The batter is credited with an RBI, entered as “RBI” in the upper right hand corner of the batter’s cell. This the example, the batter is “Smith”
• The out number of the inning is entered, with a circle around it, in the upper right hand corner of the batter’s cell to reflect the out in the inning. Again, the batter is “Smith”
• The letters “SF” are entered in the middle of the batter’s cell
• A Sacrifice Fly is not considered an official at-bat and is not to be tallied as an At-Bat in Game totals.
