What is grounded out baseball?

"Grounding out" in baseball refers to a play in which a batter hits the ball on the ground and it is fielded by a defensive player who throws it to first base before the batter reaches it, resulting in an out. This is one of the most common types of outs in baseball. Grounding out can be caused by a variety of factors, such as a weak swing, a well-placed pitch by the pitcher, or a good defensive play by the fielding team. It is also sometimes referred to as a "ground ball out."
