In baseball, what does it mean for a player to 'hit for the cycle' in a single game?
Show answer
Hitting a single, double, triple, and home run
A batter hits for the cycle when they record a single, a double, a triple, and a home run in the same game. It is a rare occurrence, roughly as common as a no-hitter for a pitcher.
