In major league baseball, what is "batting for cycle"?

Similar questions: major league baseball batting cycle.

It means this... ...you hit a single, a double, a triple and a homerun, all in the same game. If the player hits them in that order it's called a natural cycle. Stephen Drew of the Arizona Razorbacks accomplished that feat TODAY, September 1, 2008.

Yep that's a GOOD game! Drew joined Luis Gonzalez (1999) and Greg Colbrunn (2002) in Arizona's 11-year franchise history to collect a single, double, triple and home run in the same game. It was also the first time it had ever been done at Chase Field.

Four other major league players have hit for the cycle this year: Carlos Gomez (Twins), Mark Kotsay (Braves) and Cristian Guzman (Nationals). Sources: Goldie, watches too much sports! .

It's going "around the world" but in sports The cycle is getting a single, double, triple and home run within the same game. Maybe a few hundred players have hit for the cycle, but I'd guess, without researching it, that it is a relatively low number who hit a "natural" cycle. The Natural, other than Robert Redford, is getting a single, a double, a triple and then a home run in that order.

Getting every type of hit in one game. It's when a players gets a single, double, triple, and home run all in one game in no particular order. A couple of hundred players have done it over the history of baseball.

Even more rare is hitting a natural cycle. That's when a player hits all of these in the right order - a single first, then a double, then a triple, and finally a home run. Far fewer players have managed to do that.

One of each type of hit. The "cycle" is gettting one of each type of hit; a home run, a triple, a double and a single in the same game but it doesn't matter what order they come in. It's a pretty rare event and most players will never do it.

There is a great article on Wikipedia that lists all the players that have done it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/tting_for_the_cycle .

Single, double, triple, home run, in a single game "Batting for the cycle" is a term used for when one player gets a single, a double, a triple, and a homerun all in a single game. There is nothing special about this feet, as it does not add any more runs or increase the batter's average any more than the individual hits and runs do. It's also important to note that The Cycle is not the best a batter could do.

If a batter gets four at bats in a game, it would be significantly more desired to get four home runs, not 1 home run, one triple, one double, and one single. I've actually heard of players who have a single, homerun, and triple, and just need the double "for the Cycle", and will actually stop at second instead of trying to get to third on a long hit to the outfield. These players are idiots, and just want to get it for their own personal enjoyment, rather than doing the best thing for the team.

There are a couple variations on the Cycle as well - if the player gets all four hits "in order" (that is, gets the single before the double, the double before the triple, and the triple before the homerun), it's known as a "natural cycle". Also, there is a Home-run Cycle that I'm not sure has ever been achieved - hitting four home runs in one game, one of them with the bases loaded, one with 2 on, one with 1 on, and one with the bases empty (thus a 1-run HR, 2-run HR, 3-run HR, and 4-run HR). ====== Signed by: Mr. Itty, who keeps forgetting to sign his answers...
