** Fuka also has two unique skills, usable in battle, that play with this. One where she uses a baseball bat to smack a bomb into someone's face, and the second involves placing three targets onto the bases of a baseball field and tackling them out of the park.

* ''PowerStone 2'' has this with the tennis racket weapon. One smack is powerful enough to send people flying high into the air and bouncing all over [[InvisibleWall invisible walls]].
* Knockback effects are common in ''TeamFortress2''. Engineer sentry guns have a heavy knockback on hit; an enemy that jumps over one can be propelled so high into the air they'll leave the sentry's range, or at least their [[RagdollPhysics body]] will. The Pyro's flamethrower has a compressed-air blast that will knock enemies back considerably, which has a few tactical uses. The straighter example of the trope is the Scout's unlockable "Sandman" [[BatterUp bat]]. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8mJUpTlHCE Its taunt is a]] OneHitKill, and one that launches the victim's ragdoll a fair distance. There is even an achievement for sending the corpse hurtling 25 meters! The normal strikes with the bat don't do such a thing.
* Fate does this to [[BigBad Jail Scaglietti]] at the end of ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha [=StrikerS=]'', swinging her {{BFS}} like a baseball bat and sending Jail flying hella far with the flat of her blade until he crashed into a wall. Unsurprisingly, the Japanese fanbase gave the scene the FanNickname of "Home Run".
* In the third season of ''TheSlayers'', Filia launches both Gourry and Zelgadiss into a ricochet up a bell tower/up a street of houses, respectively, using her massive mace. They, of course, fade into ATwinkleInTheSky.
* During the final sequence of ''TheSecretOfMonkeyIsland'', [=LeChuck=]'s punches send poor Guybrush flying up into the sky. An over-head "Blimp Cam" shows Guybrush at the peak of the arc.
* In ''DungeonFighterOnline'', the Exorcist skill "Star in the Sky" tosses the opponent into the air, catching them on the way down with a powerful swing of his giant weapon. At full charge, the user screams out "Home run!" on impact and any poor soul caught in the attack is knocked well off-screen.
