Kim Batiste

Kim Batiste is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Kim Batiste rather than just read about it. In short: Kimothy Emil Batiste (March 15, 1968 – October 7, 2020) was an American Major League Baseball infielder for the Philadelphia Phillies (1991–1994) and San Francisco Giants (1996), both of the National League. He was drafted in the third round of the 1987 amateur draft by the Phillies.

Key takeaways

Kim Batiste belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Kim Batiste to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Kim Batiste from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Kimothy Emil Batiste (March 15, 1968 – October 7, 2020) was an American Major League Baseball infielder for the Philadelphia Phillies (1991–1994) and San Francisco Giants (1996), both of the National League. He was drafted in the third round of the 1987 amateur draft by the Phillies. His major league debut came in 1991 with the Phillies. He was a key component of the Phillies 1993 National League Championship Series victory, delivering a game-winning RBI hit in the 10th inning of Game 1, though it was his error in the 9th inning that allowed the Braves to tie the game and force extra innings. Batiste played four seasons with the Phillies as a backup shortstop and third baseman, and was released on May 15, 1995. He signed with the Baltimore Orioles as a free agent nine days later on May 24 and was assigned to the Bowie Baysox. He had a 14-game hitting streak with the Baysox before being promoted to the Rochester Red Wings where he spent the duration of the campaign. He never appeared in a major league game with the Orioles and was selected by the Giants in the Rule 5 draft on December 4, 1995. He played one year with the Giants before being released on October 1, 1996. Batiste went on to play in the independent Atlantic League, batting .233 in 12 games in 2003 for the Atlantic City Surf in his final professional season. Batiste lived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana after his retirement. Batiste died on October 7, 2020, from complications after kidney surgery. He is interred at Mount Gillion Baptist Church Cemetery in nearby Prairieville.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Kim Batiste

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Kim Batiste claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Kim Batiste before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Kim Batiste ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Kim Batiste

In research: Kim Batiste appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Kim Batiste in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Kim Batiste is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1968 births, 2020 deaths, 20th-century African-American sportsmen, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Kim Batiste outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
