What is a walk-off hit in baseball

A walkoff hit in baseball refers to a situation where a team scores the winning run in the bottom half of the final inning, leading to an immediate end of the game. This typically occurs when a batter hits a single, double, home run, or other type of hit that drives in a runner from base, making the score such that the opposing team can no longer respond. The term “walkoff” comes from the idea that the winning team can celebrate and leave the field (“walk off”) immediately after the hit, as the game concludes with that play.
