Shagging (baseball)

Shagging (baseball)

Shagging describes the act of catching fly balls in the outfield when not involved in actual baseball games. Pitchers may do this during batting practice before games. Also, in the Home Run Derby, children are normally recruited as shaggers in order to field balls that do not go out as a home run.
