a substitute player in baseball or softball who runs for another player, typically for strategic purposes
A pinch runner is a player in baseball who is substituted in for another player to run the bases. This usually happens when the team wants a faster runner to replace someone who is slower or has been on base for a while. The pinch runner’s job is to try to advance on the bases and help the team score, without worrying about batting. They are typically used in important situations where speed is needed to increase the chances of scoring.
