"He raked today. Hit it better than anyone else."

rake v. in baseball, to hit well.   

Hit the diamond at 10:00 this morning for our second team practice.  Thirty minutes of infield/outfield, followed by 30 of hitting. 

When The Playmaker got his turn in the box, he was on.  Two hard grounders.  One line drive up the middle.  Then he unloaded two bombs to left field.  (He was the only one out of 8 kids who hit the ball in the air to the outfield.)

Later this afternoon the head coach (we are the assistant) texted us.  "He raked today.  Hit it better than anyone else."
