A hard-hit line drive is a type of hit in baseball where the ball is hit with a lot of force and travels in a straight line. The term 'SCREAMER' is used to describe a hard-hit line drive that is hit so hard that it makes a loud noise when it comes off the bat. A 'scorcher' is another term for a hard-hit line drive, but it implies that the ball was hit even harder than a SCREAMER. Finally, a 'frozen rope' is a term used to describe a hard-hit line drive that is hit so hard that it appears to be frozen in midair as it travels in a straight line.
