跑垒员，又称作跑者是棒球或垒球的名词，指已攻占在垒包上的攻击球员，跑垒员于进垒时应采顺时针方向触踏一垒、二垒、三垒及本垒，才算得分。若被迫返垒，仍须依逆时针方向顺序返回。

In baseball, base running is the act of running around the bases performed by members of the team at bat.

In general, base running is a tactical part of the game with the goal of eventually reaching home to score a run. The goal of batting is generally to produce base runners, or help move base runners along. Runners on second or third base are considered to be in scoring position since a normal hit, even a single, will often score them. Part of the goal of a runner and a batter is to get the runner into scoring position.
