In baseball, a player hits for the cycle when he hits a single, a double, a triple and a home run in the same game, though not necessarily in that order. Collecting the hits in that order is known as a natural cycle.The feat is rare in Major League Baseball as it requires a game of no fewer than four hits, and the unusual combination of a home run, which requires a batter to hit for some power, and a triple, which requires a batter to have both speed on the basepaths and a favorable fall of the ball.
Thus, hitting for the cycle demonstrates excellence in three of the five "tools" of baseball (see five-tool player). The accomplishment is held in high enough esteem that players needing only a single to complete the cycle have been known to hold up at first base on balls hit in the alley.
There are only 3 major league teams that, to date, have not had a player hit for the cycle – the San Diego Padres, Florida Marlins and Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
