tagging up
baseball
Quick Summary
In baseball, to "tag up" means a runner must touch a base again after a fly ball has been caught by a fielder. This action allows the runner to advance to the next base once the ball is in play again. This is a strategic play, often used when there are fewer than two outs, and can result in a "sacrifice fly" if a runner scores from third base on a caught fly ball.12
