Dinger

In baseball, a “dinger” is slang for a home run, which occurs when a batter hits the ball out of the field of play in fair territory, allowing all runners—including the batter—to round the bases and score without the chance of being out. It’s a significant and exciting achievement that typically results in at least one run, often more if other players are on base. The term “dinger” emphasizes the powerful, impactful nature of the hit, and is commonly used among fans and players to celebrate this impressive feat.
