A baseball hit that barely clears the infield is known as a bloop hit. This type of hit is usually a soft line drive that just barely goes over the infielders' heads, allowing the batter to reach base safely. Bloop hits are often the result of a well-timed swing and can be a great way to get on base without having to hit the ball hard. They can also be a great way to score runs, as the infielders may not have enough time to get to the ball before the runner reaches home plate.
