noun
homer; home run
Baseball term for a home run. Compared with the very common ホームラン, ホーマー has a sport-journalism or baseball-commentary feel; 本塁打 is the more formal Japanese equivalent.
彼は九回に逆転ホーマーを打った。
He hit a come-from-behind homer in the ninth inning.
The most common everyday word for a home run; ホーマー is also understood but sounds more like baseball jargon or sports reporting.
Formal Japanese baseball term for a home run, common in records, statistics, and news writing.
Written in katakana as a baseball term. No language-of-origin details are specified, so the historical derivation is left unspecified.
