if the ball is hit out of the park and he gets called out because of that then the runs are forced in beause it was a home run
Ball's dead and runners can't advance.
An umpire is not supposed to throw the ball back to the pitcher with runners on base. If he does the ball is dead from the time he touches it to the time the pitcher has the ball on the pitching mound. So the runners cannot advance.
Only the batter needs to touch first base to complete the walk.
The lead runners could all have been passed by the batter before any of them touched the plate after the batter hit a home run. The three lead runners would all be called out.
If the pitched ball four (issuing a walk) gets past the catcher, it is still a "live" ball, and the batter, and any other runners on base, may advance as far as they can. The catcher, or any other defensive player must retrieve the ball to keep it in play and prevent the batter or baserunners from advancing.
No only if they get hit by a ball someone on there team hits.
All runners on base move ahead one base. The runner on third scores when he touches home plate. The batter gets an RBI. The pitcher may be charged with an earned run depending on how the runners got on base.The pitcher gets upset with the umpire.
A pitcher can change his release type as many times as he wants during any atbat. Of course most pitchers don't. If there aren't any baserunners on then he will use the full leg kick to generate the most power. If he has baserunners on the he will use the slide step in order for runners to have less of a jump in case they want to steal. Sometimes you will see a pitcher use the full leg kick with a runner on third base because runners do not usually steal home. Therocket4ever
Yes, this is covered by MLB rule 5.09(a): "The ball becomes dead and runners advance one base, or return to their bases, without liability to be put out, when -- (a) A pitched ball touches a batter, or his clothing, while in his legal batting position; runners, if forced, advance"
No. According to MLB Rule 7.05(c), the batter and all runners may advance three bases when: "a fielder deliberately throws his glove at and touches a fair ball. The ball is in play and the batter may advance to home base at his peril."
The ball is live until all runners advance one base or the batter is thrown out at first. At that point the ball is ruled a dead ball.
Yes, by rule the batter would receive a ball.
