What "line drive" means in baseball
A line drive in baseball refers to a batted ball that is hit hard and directly towards the outfield or infield without going too high in the air. It is often considered the ideal type of hit for a batter as it has a high chance of resulting in a base hit or extra bases for the team. The trajectory of a line drive is usually low and flat, making it difficult for outfielders to catch and increasing the speed at which it travels towards the fence.
