A call is a loud verbal signal between the two batters to decide whether to run or stay. Clear communication prevents both players from ending up at the same end and getting run out by the fielding team.

Pro-Tip: Using standard calls like ‘Yes,’ ‘No,’ and ‘Wait’ is the best way to avoid confusion in the heat of a game.
