Why do they say like 4-3-6 double play what does it mean?

Answer 1

First of all, a 4-6-3 double play is super rare. They name the players by number to signify where the ball was thrown.

1: Pitcher
2: Catcher
3: First baseman
4: Second baseman
5: Third baseman
6: Shortstop
7: Left field
8: Center Field
9: Right field

A 4-3-6 would then by second to first to short, which I personally have seen about three times ever. 6-4-3 is a lot more common. You can even have say a 9-2 double play (right fielder catches it, throws home to nail runner at plate, see Vladimir Guerrero against the Orioles a couple nights ago). Hope this helps.

Answer 2

On a 6-4-3 double play, the shortstop (6) throws to the second baseman (4), and he throws to first base (3). 1 - Pitcher 2 - Cather 3 - First Base 4 - Second Base 5 - Third base 6 - Shortstop 7 - Left Field 8 - Center Field 9 - Right Field

Answer 3

It is the players positions on the field
1=pitcher
2=catcher
3=first baseman
4= second baseman
5= third baseman
6=shortstop
7=right field
8=center field
9= left field
Normally it would be a 4-6-3 double play which says second baseman gets it, throws it to the shortstop, who throws it to first.

Answer 4

Scoring a play like that refers to the number of each position and I think you mean 6-4-3 which would be short to second to first. As you have it the play went to second to first and then to short which might happen if a line drive was hit to second and there was a guy who got caught off first.
Pitcher is 1, catcher is 2, 1st is3 2nd is 4 3rd is 5 short is 6 lf is 7 cf is 8 and rf is 9. It's a short form to notate the play.
FO6 would be a fly to the short. go 4-3 is a ground out to second.

Answer 5

Those numbers correspond to positions in the field.
In your example, this would be a ball hit to the second baseman, thrown to first for the force out, and the first baseman throws the ball to the shortstop covering second base.
Note: The SS must now tag the runner since the force was taken off by the play at first base. . . .

Answer 6

each position has a number
1 pitcher
2 catcher
3 1b
4 2b
5 3b
6 SS
7 lf
8 cf and 9 rf

the numbers are in order of the putout (out) so a 4-6-3 double play would be second baseman to shortstop to first baseman

Answer 7

That's not a very common double play. That one is second baseman to first to shortstop. It could happen. The first baseman (3) is usually at the end of the play.

Answer 8

Every position has a number assaigned to it for scorekeeping purposes.

P=1
C=2
1b=3
2b=4
3b=5
ss=6
lf=7
cf=8
rf=9

I think those are the right numbers. Not really sure, especially about the OF numbers.

Anyhow, the number combo you gave would mean the second baseman fielded the ball and threw it to the first baseman for out number 1. The first baseman then threw it to SS for the second out.

Answer 9

2 outs made in a single play.
#4, the 2nd baseman, is credited with an assist for giving the ball to #3, the 1st baseman.
The 1st baseman is then credited with a putout and an assist for giving the bass to #6, the Shortstop, who is credited with a putout.

Answer 10

2nd baseman to 1st baseman to shortstop.
although that is a highly unusual DP.
it normally goes 6-4-3 or 5-4-3

every fielder is assigned a number

1=pitcher
2=catcher
3=1st base
4=2nd base
5=3rd base
6=shortstop
7=left field
8=center field
9=right field
