👉 The at-weapon, also known as the at-base or at-play, is a fundamental concept in baseball that refers to the act of a player making contact with a pitched ball and advancing one or more bases without being tagged out by an infielder. This means the batter successfully hits the ball, runs to the base where it was hit, and completes the circuit around the field, potentially reaching home plate if no infielder is tagged. The at-weapon is a crucial part of the game, as it directly impacts the scoring potential and momentum of the inning.
