Skipper (skip)

Let’s explore this interesting connection! In baseball, the terms’ skip’ or ‘skipper’ are often used interchangeably with the team manager. Just like a baseball captain, who is responsible for making strategic decisions during games, such as setting the batting order, making player substitutions, and calling for pitchers, a ship’s skipper has a similar role. They are in charge of navigating and managing the crew. On the field, they are the team’s commander, leading them to victory.
