Pinch runner

 

Pinch runner

A pinch runner is a baseball player substituted for the specific purpose of replacing a player on base. In the usual case, the pinch runner is faster or otherwise more skilled at base-running than the party for whom the pinch runner has been substituted, but occasionally a pinch runner can be inserted for more subtle reasons (such as a double switch).
