A three-base shot in baseball is also commonly known as a triple, a three-bagger, a three-base hit, or a three-base knock. It is a hit in which the batter safely reaches third base, usually by hitting the ball far into the outfield without being caught. Other synonyms for a three-base shot can include a triple play or a three-run homer, depending on the specific context in which the hit occurred. Baseball fans and analysts may use these different synonyms interchangeably, but they all refer to the impressive feat of hitting the ball hard and far enough to earn three bases.
