If a batted ball hits a base runner who is on the bag but is in foul ground what happens?
If a baserunner is in foul ground and is hit by a batted ball, the ball is declared foul and all runners return to their previously occupied base, regardless of whether or not the runner that was hit was standing on the base.
What happens when a baserunner is hit by a thrown ball?
When a baserunner is hit by a thrown ball, the ball is in play. The one exception is if the baserunner is called out for interfering with the throw. The most common such is when a baserunner runs in fair territory towards first base, and gets hit by a throw. In that case the runner is out, the ball is dead, and all other runners must return to their previous bases. Hall of Fame pitcher Tom Seaver once said that if when a pitcher fields a bunt he sees the runner running in fair territory, he should throw the ball into that player's back, getting the out and preventing anybody from advancing on the attempted sacrifice. A batter running to first should run in foul territory, otherwise he risks getting called out if he's hit by a throw. Another case of interference is if the baserunner is deemed to have intentionally moved into the throw. In a famous case from the 1978 World Series, Yankee great Reggie Jackson was forced out at second and then was hit by the throw to first. The Dodgers argued that Jackson deliberately swung his hip into the ball. Certainly Jackson made no effort to avoid the throw. However interference was not called, so Jackson successfully broke up the double play. Runners going from first to second on ground balls to first often attempt to run into the path the first baseman would use to throw to second. Chase Utley did this successfully in an April 2008 game against the Mets. First baseman Carlos Delgado's throw hit Utley in the back (Delgado was charged with a throwing error), all runners were safe, and the play ultimately led to the Phillies' victory.
The question is based on when a baserunner who is tagging can leave his base during an outfield catch. is it when the ball hits the outfielders glove or when the outfielder has control of the ball?
when the ball is touched, it's officially in play and the tagged runner can run.
If batted ball hits a base before it hits the ground is it an out?
No, it is simply a ground ball and is in play.
What is a force out in the NBA?
A force out in "player foul" terms, is when a player pushes the player with the ball out of bounds. In other words, they are "forcing out" the player with the ball. This is illegal in the NBA. Hope this helps :)
In softball when are the fielders able to use a force out?
Hello. A force out can be used when the runner is 'forced' to move to the next base. For example, when there's a baserunner at first and the batter hits the ball, there are force outs at both first (where the batter must go) and second (since the batter is coming to first, it forces the baserunner to second). However, if the ball is caught, the baserunner may stay at first since the batter is out. If the baserunner is not 'forced' to move to the next base, a force out cannot be used. For example, when there's a baserunner at second, first is empty and the batter hits the ball, there is only a force out at first. Since the baserunner on second does not have to yield her base to a runner directly behind her, she must be tagged to make the out if she tries to take third. Even in a situation where a force out will work, a tag is also an out. So IMO if the runner is off base and you can tag her, do it, then look to see if there are other outs that could be made.
Batted ball hits pitching rubber and caught in the air?
It is a ground ball.
If a batted ball hits a runner on third base but the ball hits the runner on the foot which is in foul territory is he still out?
No
If a batted ball hits a runner and pops up in the air and a fielder catches the ball is the batter out also?
No...as soon as the batted ball touches the runner, the ball is dead.
Major League Baseball what is an RBI?
An RBI is a Run Batted In in Major League Baseball.RBIs are the number that is credited to a batter for batting in a baserunner that scores on his at-bat however this only applies if he hits the ball that remains a live ball and in play or if he ends up walking with the bases loaded. He'll also get an RBI if he's hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.
If there is a baserunner on third and the batter hits a ground ball which the fielder makes an error on does the batter get credit for an RBI?
That would likely depend on the circumstances involved before the error occurred meaning if there were no outs or only 1 out then he would get a RBI no matter what but if there's 2 outs then he likely wouldn't get a RBI.
What would the scorebook of a batted ball hitting the batter be?
HBP by first base...Another answer: HBP (Hit By Pitch) would only apply to a pitched ball, not a batted ball.If a batted ball hits the batter while the ball is in foul territory, it is simply a foul ball. If a batted ball hits the batter while the ball is in fair territory, it would be scored as an out by interference with the catcher being credited with the putout.
