What does FUNGO mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
In baseball, a fly ball hit by a batter for fielding practice, or the light bat used to hit such balls.
A coach tosses the ball into the air and hits it with a fungo bat, a longer and lighter bat than a game bat, so fielders can practice catching balls hit at realistic heights and angles. The word names both the practice hit itself and the specialised bat used to produce it, and either sense is common on a practice field. Fungo drills are a routine part of training rather than anything used during an actual game.
