Runs batted in

Runs Batted In (RBIs) is a baseball statistic that measures how many runs a player drives into score. When a batter hits the ball and successfully allows a teammate to score—by hitting a single, double, or home run, for example—that counts as an RBI. It credits the batter for their contribution to producing runs, which are the primary goal of offense in baseball. RBIs are important for evaluating a player's offensive effectiveness, as they reflect their ability to help their team score points during at-bats.
