Baseball Slang Quiz: Can you bat 1.000?
E3 is an acronym used in baseball scorebooks to record an error made by the first baseman. The term consists of E and 3, which is the player's position.
Baseball positions are sometimes referred to by numbers, which is useful for recording statistics in scorebooks. The positions and numbers are: 1-Pitcher, 2-Catcher, 3-First base, 4-Second base, 5-Third base, 6-Shortstop, 7-Left field, 8-Center field, and 9-Right field. An error by a fielder does not count as a hit and if a baserunner scores a run because of an error, the run is considered unearned instead of earned.
