BB- base on balls aka a walk, this happens when the pitcher throw 4 pitches out of the strike zone to you and u can go to 1st base, because none of the pitches were in your range.
TB- Total Base, it is how many bases you touch, from a single, a double, a triple, a homerun, a steal, etc. A single counts as 1, a double counts as two, a triple counts a 3, and a homerun counts as 4.
2B- a double, when you run from homeplate, to 1st then to 2nd with being thrown out, this can also occur when you go from home to 1st to 2nd, and thrown out at third, this is counted as a double.
GIDP- ground into a double play, when there is a runner on 1st, the play that gets the ball can throw it to 2nd and get the force there instead of throwing to third. There would be a force at every base (home, 1st, 2nd, 3rd.) if the bases were loaded.
SF- sacrifice fly, when there is a runner on base (normally 2nd or 3rd, very rare on 1st.) the batter pops out to Centerfield, left field or right field, and is out, but the runner goes back to their base, andthen can run, normally they score from 3rd, but if their fast, they can score from second
hope that helped
