Line drive

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In baseball, a line drive is a type of batted ball, sharply hit, and on (or slightly above) a level trajectory. The threshold between a line drive (also sometimes called a liner) and a fly ball can be subjective.

Line drives can be dangerous to baseball players and spectators. For example, on July 22, 2007, Tulsa Drillers first base coach, Mike Coolbaugh was killed in a line drive accident at an away game against the Arkansas Travelers.
