Fun fact: For the areas where you had to pick up golf balls by hand, you'd use a bag with a tube coming out from the bottom of it so you wouldn't have to bend over all the time. This is called a golf ball shagger, so if we had to do that, we'd say we were "going out to shag balls".

Shagging (baseball)

In baseball, shagging is the act of catching fly balls in the outfield outside the context of an actual baseball game. This is most commonly done by pitchers during batting practice before the ball game, where they assist their hitting teammates by catching or picking up their batted baseballs and throwing them back to the pitching area in the infield. Batboys also help shagging baseballs, and it is reportedly considered a great honor among batboys to be asked to do this. This pre-game activity is widely disliked by pitchers, who argue that it does not benefit them at all, since it drain...

Presumably that's why.

Shagging refers to, essentially, going to get balls and throwing them back.

Martin Sojka

@Fluttershy "The baseball verb meaning "to catch" (fly balls) is attested from 1913, of uncertain origin or connection to other senses of the word." Even the Etymology Online Dictionary basically shrugs and says "Well ... no idea. Your guess is as good as mine."
