Please help a baseball player, NAC.

[The Loves]

They are a pretty tough group aren't they?
They are always stealing bases, if not homes.
Always trying to hit a fly, or catch one.
When they finally hit a fly out of the park they go home.
For most people three strikes gets you life in prison.
And if you had 4 balls, would you walk to first or strut?
