steal definition and meaning
02

(baseball) a baserunner's attempt to advance to the next base while the pitcher is preparing to pitch or during the pitch itself

What is a "steal"?

A steal in baseball or softball happens when a player on base runs to the next base while the pitcher is throwing the ball to the batter. The player tries to reach the next base before the catcher can throw the ball there to get them out. A steal is a risky move because if the runner is caught or tagged before reaching the base, they are out. However, if the runner is successful, it can help their team by putting them in a better position to score. Stealing requires good timing, speed, and awareness.
