String

A baseball player’s “string” is not just a physical ability, but a strategic advantage . It’s their capacity to throw accurately and consistently from the outfield to the infield. A strong “string” in an outfielder refers to their ability to throw the ball precisely and quickly to the base where the runner is attempting to advance or to the cutoff man. This ability is crucial as it keeps the runners near the bases and lessens the possibility of extra base hits, facilitating defensive removal.
