Hot Corner

A term used in baseball/softball referring to the third base. When a right handed batter (in the right batters box) hits the ball it most often pulls the ball to the left. A hard hit ball can come hard and at top speed, reaction time must be fast. The third base is the base on the left side of the field. The last corner bag before home plate and scoring...or being thrown out! The hot corner.

Hey coach! Where do you need me at on the field.

Tracy is playing shortstop so I need you in the hot corner.

Me: I love playing third base.
