Morphology

two-baser = two + base (transparent) = two + base + er

Formed from 'two' + 'base' with the productive suffix '-er' indicating 'one that results in two bases'; the meaning 'a double' is directly inferable from the components.

Etymology

Two-baser is built from two, base, and the ending -er, literally meaning 'a two-base hit'. So, a two-baser is the same as a double, a hit where the batter stops safely at second base.
