A Baltimore Chop is when a ball is hit sharply to the ground before home plate and bounces so high that the hitter has time to safely make it to first base. It’s named for the 1890 Baltimore Orioles who, according to legend, instructed their groundskeeper to lay cement under the dirt in front of home plate.
