what are the infield "holes" aka 5 hole...

[shortstop5]

i always have a debate with guys on this. does anyone know for sure.

for example. hole between short and 3rd basement = 5 hole... what are the others?

 

[Country35]

we usually on have a hole in the right handed batters box........5 hole is between the legs

 

[vipvanilla]

I usually refer to them as the 5-6 hole. To me, the 5 hole is drilling it down the 3B line. If it's between two fielders, I use their position numbers to refer to it... the 3-4 hole, the 5-6 hole, etc.

 

[hinzy]

5 hole = between the fielders legs
Batting title hole = Between the 3b and SS

Only time I ever use the term

 

[shortstop5]

whats between 1st and 2nd basemen?

I only have 1 basement and it's more for storage than a hole. The fact that you have 3 is astonishing.


Oh yeah, **** you and your ****ty avatar

You go by the fielder #s in a book.

3B = 5, SS = 6, 2B = 4, 1B = 3 (6-4-3 double play)

So 5-6 hole , 4-3 hole, space between those fielders.

Someone can correct if needed, but I believe "5 hole" might be a hockey term. Scoring a goal through the goalie's legs.

Another reason not to play a 5 man infield, it creates more holes.

Now I am confused, if you play 5 man in coed you have even more holes?

 

[Nateorious]

^^^ funny stuff.

Just don't call up the middle the 1 hole or the 4 - 6 hole, you will be looked at funny.

 

[rhound50]

This thread has delivered the funny.

 

[grand salami]

we've always called a shot up the gut on either side of the pitcher 5-hole.. just because its splitting the middle kinda like going through the legs in hockey....

 

[LikeMiken]

The 4-6 hole is ngtg

For serious!

 

[jamelie22]

"5 hole" is a hockey term meaning the space between the goalie's legs. If I were to use this term in softball, it would mean hitting up the middle or at the pitcher.

Yeah, that is why most D and higher tournament teams play a 5 man...

 

[Dogue]

I thought we were talking about co-ed - 5 hoes

 

[rtaven]

5-6 hole is honey hole

do the math dude, more infielders means more holes between them.

if you don't know, you should not be playing infield cuz. btw, shortstop is #6

 

[jakeski13]

Its a Hockey term which means it goes in between the goalies legs. When a fielder lets a ball through their legs that is what the 5 hole is refered ti in baseball/softball. Thats it.
