a defensive play in which two outs are made by the fielding team in a single continuous play
What is a "double play"?
A double play in baseball or softball occurs when the defensive team gets two outs in one play. This usually happens when a batter hits the ball, and the defense quickly throws the ball to a base to get one runner out, then immediately throws to another base or home plate to get a second runner out. Double plays often involve the shortstop, second baseman, or pitcher, and they are a key part of a team's defense, helping to prevent runs and quickly end an inning. A well-executed double play requires good timing, teamwork, and accuracy.
Example
The double play shifted the momentum in their favor.
The shortstop and second baseman turned a double play to end the inning.
The pitcher induced a ground ball double play to escape the jam.
