Tipping the ball off of the bat Explanation: Jisho.org has this term specifically listed as one of the examples for the phrase: https://jisho.org/search/引っかける From the sounds of it, the veteran is giving advice on either hitting or pitching a screwball; and how they would often get anxious worrying about if it was going to be a glancing hit, make it through (a strike), or get blasted really hard. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2019-06-27 00:00:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I checked with my Japanese wife, she thinks it might be a "bunt" more than a tipped hit. Either way it is a form of glancing hit. Reference: http://www.jekai.org/entries/aa/00/np/aa00np53.htm |
