About Sacrifice Hit

A sacrifice hit (SH), often referred to as a sacrifice bunt, is a ball put into play in the infield that allows a runner on base to advance one or more bases but results in the hitter being called out at or before first base. This is often done intentionally to move runners forward when a weaker hitter is at the plate, for example a pitcher. Generally, for Sacrifice Hit, higher is better. (Source)
