Does a sacrifice bunt count as an at bat if they make an error at first base but you moved the runner to second base?
no
What is a walk?
4 pitched balls that are not strikes. runner advances to first base. does not count as an at bat or a hit.
If a hitter executes a sacrifice bunt advancing a runner to second or third base but no run scores does this count as an at bat when scoring?
No, a bunt that is scored as a sacrifice is never charged as an at-bat.
Is it scored a sacrifice fly if you move a runner up but don' t score him?
AnswerNo. Unless the runner scores, it is NOT a sacrafice fly. If a batter flies out while a runner is on either 1st or 2nd base, tags up and advances to the next base, it is simply ruled as a flyout with the runner advancing, and the "at bat" will still be charged to the batter. A sacrafice fly scores the runner after he tags up, the batter does not get charged with an "at bat", and he also gets credit for a run batted in (RBI).I disagree. If a batter bunts and the runner advances, it is a sacrifice. So it would stand to reason that if you fly out, and the runner advances, then it would be as well.To Above:It's not a matter of disagreeing, it's a matter of MLB rules as designated by the rulebook. A sacrifice fly is not the same as a sacrifice bunt, a hit is only a sacrifice fly if the runner can tag and score. The reason being that a sacrifice fly is not scored as an official at-bat due to it's strategic value, thus it doesn't count against your batting average; since it's impossible to determine whether or not a batter is going long for strategy, or just swinging for the bleachers, you thus only get the sacrifice if the runner scores, all other fly-balls count against your average. A bunt is far more obvious in it's intent to move a runner, thus a bunt that moves a runner is a sacrifice.
In fastpitch softball does it count as a stolen base when the runner advances on a pass ball?
Advancing on a passed ball does not count as a stolen base unless runner was already in the act of stealing the base, in that case it is a stolen base.
What is the call if you have runners on second and third with one out and a fly ball is hit to the outfield and is caught. The runner on third base tags up and scores. The runner on second base does n?
It's a sacrifice fly. The batter is credited with an RBI, and the at-bat does not count against his batting average. The runner on second is inconsequential to the scoring decision.
Does the run count if when bases loaded the runner crosses the plat before runner is forced out at second base?
no
A batter hits a ball to SS with a man on 2nd. He gets thrown out at 1st but advances the runner to 3rd does this count as an at bat towards his batting average or is it a sacrifice hit?
This is simply an out. Sacrifices are only given to bunts that advance all runners or fly outs where a runner scores.
If there are two outs in the inning and there is a person on second with a full count and he steals and the batter walks can the runner get thrown out at third?
The runner on second base can be thrown out provided that first base is empty
If a runner is hit with the ball by a miss throw by to the second base man is the runner out?
No. To force an out, the defensive player has to touch the runner with the ball or touch the runner with the glove while the ball is in the glove. A thrown ball touching a runner does not count.
If there are runners on second and third and two outs and the runner from second tries to score on a single but is called out on an appeal does the first run count?
yes, whenever there is 2 outs and a person tries to score and makes it but the other runner gets out the run doesn't count.
Does the run count if it is made before an out is called?
A run counts if the runner crossed the plate legally and before the third out. If the runner crosses the plate even a half-second before the third out is tagged on the basepaths, then the run counts. If the out is made a half-second before the runner crosses the plate, then the run does not count. One exception is that with two outs the runner cannot score until all forced runners have reached their bases safely. That is, if the batter-runner is thrown out at first even after the runner crossed the plate, then the run does not count. Same thing if a runner is thrown out at second or third base (on a force-play only).
