Hi. Being a Brit I don't fully get all the rules of baseball but I've loved the game since my only trip to America when a bunch of guys in a bar tried explaining the game to me. We used to get 2 games per week on our tv but I rely on Youtube now. I hope in time I can ask my American friends on here to explain what is currently on my mind. For now I can't quite get my head around the sac fly. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
The sacrifice fly is basically trading an out for a run or a better chance to score a run. In a close game, one run can make the difference, alternately if you can move a runner into scoring position, second or third base, the opposing team may alter their defense and the pitcher will most likely speed up his delivery.
Even if a sac fly doesn't drive in the run, it may affect your opponents game plan. Baseball is like chess.
