Who is an "inherited runner"?
In baseball, an inherited runner is a player who is on base when a new pitcher enters the game. The new pitcher is responsible for getting the batter out, and if the inherited runner scores, it counts as the new pitcher's responsibility. The term is used to track how well the new pitcher handles the situation, as they inherit the task of preventing the runner from advancing or scoring.
