What else can I help you with?
What happens to a pitcher if a bok is called on them?
If a "Balk" is called, all runners on base advance to the next base.
If you hit a ball to second base with runners on first and second base and both runners advance to the next base and the hitter gets thrown out is this a sacrifice?
No. A sacrifice is when the batter turns around to bunt and lets everyone on the defense know what they are going to do. The batter is 'sacrificing' (allowing the defense to get him/her out) so the runners can advance one base.
Can a runner return to first base on a ground ball without being out?
No, when a ball is hit on the ground, the runners must try and advance to the next base.
If there was NO wild pitch and the batter receives a walk can he advance on to second base before the next pitch?
Not unless the next batter gets a walk as well. Runners can only move on base hits or walks.
What is a force run in softball?
FORCE RUN: A runner does not have to advance to the next base unless someone is behind him/her running to the base that the first runner is on. If there is a runner, and you are forced to advance to the next base, it is a forced run. For example, a batter hits the ball and safely runs to second base (making sure to step on 1st base). The next batter hits the ball but only runs to first base. The first runner therefore does not have to run to third base. Now there are two runners on bases and the next hit would make both runners run to the next base. When runners are forced to run, the fielders only have to throw the ball to the next base with somebody catching it. If a runner runs at will (that is not being forced to run), then the fielder must touch the player with ball and not just the base. If not a forced run, you have to tag the runner. If it is a forced run, you tag the base.
If bases are loaded and batters swings and misses where do the runners go?
The runners stay on base unless: if it's strike 3, out 3, the inning is over and runners leave the field and switch to defense as long as the game isn't over; if it's a wild pitch and not strike 3, out 3, the runners can advance at their own risk; if it's strike 3 and not out 3 and the catcher fails to catch the ball, all runners (including the batter) can run to the next base
What is the baseball tag up rule?
because without one all the runners on base would be able to score on a high pop up on the infield the tag up rule is a compromise between that situation and not allowing the runners to advance at all after a ball is caught
Can 2 runners occupy the same base at the same time?
no cause if it is a hit, or a walk, you are going to have to move to the next base.
What are the base stealing rules in baseball?
In baseball, base stealing rules allow a runner to advance to the next base while the pitcher is delivering the ball to the batter. The runner must start from a base before the pitcher begins their motion, and they can only advance to the next base if they reach it before the ball is caught by the fielder. If the runner is tagged out before reaching the base, they are called out. There are specific rules and strategies for successful base stealing, including timing the pitcher's delivery and reading the catcher's throw.
If the batter is hit by pitch with bases loaded in the bottom of 9th do ALL base runners need to touch their next base?
Yes, in Major League Baseball, all players need to advance to their next base with the bases loaded and the batter being hit regardless of the runner that is on third base being the winning run and therefore being the ending of the current game that's being played.
Does the runner have to wait until the ball has been hit to advance to next base?
No, he can advance by stealing the base, or advance on a wild pitch, passed ball, catcher interference or a pitcher's balk.
Why is it important for to catcher to catch the ball once the batter misses?
The catcher needs to catch the ball because the ball is still a "live" ball. (Unless it's a foul ball that the catcher wouldn't likely catch that anyway. Any base runners may advance when the ball is "live" at their peril. If the ball is not caught, there isn't much peril to runners running to the next base.
