What Is The Definition Of Dinger In Baseball?
1. A dinger in baseball is another name for home run.
Although the origin of this term is unknown, one theory is that this term is a variation of the word, “humdinger”. With humdinger referring to a person or thing that is outstanding and remarkable, a dinger would be a shortened version of this to describe a remarkable and outstanding hit (which would be a home run).
