Have you ever been in the bleacher’s at a baseball game and heard someone yell nice “Ribby”! If your son or daughter has just started playing baseball you may have secretly wondered to yourself, “what’s a Ribby?” Did someone just get hit in the ribs? Is there a cookout afterwards? If you were afraid to ask this is the post for you! Here is a little bit about the RBI.
RBI stands for Run Batted In. It is a term used to credit the batter when the outcome of his at bat results as a run being scored. For example: little Timmy is on third base and your little Johnny comes up to bat, hits the ball and Timmy scores. You can now yell “Nice Ribby Johnny” as Johnny now has an RBI to add to his stats for that game.
