Mixed Messages - Baseball

Hi everyone,

I just completed the Mixed Messages Portfolio JS project. I created a random message generator based on the result of an at bat in a baseball game. Would love to hear any feedback to improve my code on this as I feel like it is a little longtail.

//randomizer
let randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 8)

//message array
const baseballPlays = [‘hit’, ‘walk’, ‘hit by pitch’, ‘fielders choice’, ‘error’, ‘catchers interference’, ‘dropped 3rd strike’, ‘out’]

let batterResult = ‘’;

//message generator
for (let i = 0; i < baseballPlays.length; i++) {
const randomPlay = baseballPlays[randomNumber];
console.log(randomPlay);

if (randomPlay === 'hit') {
    const hitResult = ['single', 'double', 'triple', 'HOME RUN'];
    let randomHit = hitResult[Math.floor(Math.random() * 4)];
    console.log(randomHit);

    if (randomHit === 'single') {
        batterResult = 'You hit a single!'
    } 
    else if (randomHit === 'double') {
        batterResult = 'Extra base hit! Nice double!'
    } 
    else if (randomHit === 'triple') {
        batterResult = 'Triple! Wow you are fast!'
    } 
    else {
        batterResult = 'That ball is outta here! HOME RUN!!'
    }
} 
else if (randomPlay === 'walk') {
    batterResult = 'Ball 4. Good eye! Take your base'
} 
else if (randomPlay === 'hit by pitch') {
    batterResult = 'Ouch! That one hurt! Go to first base'
} 
else if (randomPlay === 'fielders choice') {
    batterResult = 'They got the other runner. But you got to first base!'
} 
else if (randomPlay === 'error') {
    batterResult = 'Well they really botched that one. Good job getting on!'
} 
else if (randomPlay === 'catchers interference') {
    batterResult = 'Catcher stuck his glove out too far. We got lucky there!'
} 
else if (randomPlay === 'dropped 3rd strike') {
    batterResult = 'You struck out. But hey they messed up worse!'
} else {
    const outResult = ['strikeout', 'fly out', 'ground out', 'tagged out']
    let randomOut = outResult[Math.floor(Math.random() * 4)]
    console.log(randomOut);

    if (randomOut === 'strikeout') {
        batterResult = "3 strikes. YOU'RE OUT!"
    } 
    else if (randomOut === 'fly out') {
        batterResult = "A little too much air under that one. That's an out."
    } 
    else if (randomOut === 'ground out') {
        batterResult = "Ground out in the infield. That's an out."
    }
    else {
        batterResult = "Tried to stretch that one a little too far. You're out!"
    }
}
return console.log(batterResult)

}
