what is meant by sending the runner baseball?

Answer 1

The base coach or manager has given the runner the signal to go (usually while the pitch is being thrown). It gives them a head start; also used to steal a base.

Answer 2

G'day gballer,

Thank you for your question.

It means that he has been given permission to steal a base from a manager.

In baseball, a stolen base occurs when a baserunner successfully advances to the next base while the pitcher is delivering the ball to home plate. In baseball statistics, stolen bases are denoted by SB. If the pitcher or catcher thwarts the stolen base by throwing the runner out, the event is recorded as caught stealing (CS). Successful base-stealing requires not just simple running speed, but also good base-running instincts, quickness, and split-second timing. This is often a risky play as the runner is often thrown out so it needs the permission of the manager. Rickey Henderson is the alltime leader in stolen bases.

Base stealing is an important characteristic of a particular style of baseball, sometimes called "small ball." A team playing with this style emphasizes doing little things (including as risky running plays like base-stealing) to advance runners and score runs, often relying on pitching and defense to keep games close. The Los Angeles Dodgers of the 1960's, led by pitcher Sandy Koufax and speedy shortstop Maury Wills, were a successful example of this style. The antithesis of this would be a team that relies on power hitting. The Baltimore Orioles of the 1970's, led by manager Earl Weaver, were an example of such a "slugging" team that aspired to score most of its runs via home runs. Oftentimes the "small ball" model is associated with the National League, while power hitting is seen as more associated with the American League. However, some of the more successful American League teams of recent memory, including the 2005 Chicago White Sox and the 2002 Anaheim Angels, have experienced their success in part as a result of playing "small ball," advancing runners through means such as the stolen base and the related hit and run play. Successful teams often combine both styles, with a speedy runner or two complementing hitters with power.

I have attached some sources for your reference.
