How to use "Over-throws" in context?
In baseball, an over-throw occurs when a catcher, at the base-stage of a batting action, fields a ball that was hit by a batter, and throws it to a base before the ball has contacted the ground. The ball is therefore an illegal ball, and a out is awarded to the batter.
