There are 4 types of hits in baseball. Those 4 types are a base hit, two base hit, three base hit, and home-run. All these determined by how many bases that the batter runs through. If the first bounce of hit is on far outfield, it usually becomes two base hit or more. And home-run is one of the famous terms used in baseball, even to people who isn't familiar with baseball. Home-run is when a batter runs through bases and be safe on home base. If a batter hits and the ball goes beyond the outfield and between foul lines, it is home-run. The batter doesn't have to run fast because there is no way that he is going to get out. However, there is other type of home-run, which is rare to see. It is 'inside the park home-run'. This occurs when a normal hit is made, but the batter runs and come back to home base safely. Mostly, the fastest batter in teams make few inside the park home-run.
Also, I'll throw a question to you. What if you made a base hit and ran to second base, but got out? (The answer is below the video)
This is a video of inside the park home-run.
The answer to the question is that the hit is still counted as a base hit, not two base hit, because he did make a hit. However, he still gets out.
