A runner is hit by the ball in the back running to first is the ball dead?
Only if it is ruled interference by the umpire -- dead ball and runner is out, no other runners advance.... if no interference is called, this is a live ball
Pitcher fields ball on the 1st baseline runner runs into pitcher - pitcher throws ball to first is the runner safe or out?
The runner is probably out for interference by running into a fielder, if not, he is out if the throw to first beat the runner and the first baseman, or whom ever is covering first, had his foot on the bag when he received the ball.
Does the batter become a batter runner on ball fore?
The batter becomes a runner the moment he steps out of the batters box and is heading towards first base.
A base runner runs into a player with the ball is he out?
yes unless he is standing on the base It is also interference. Y-THINK-Y These answers assume we are talking about a batted ball (not clear from the question). A runner hit by a ball thrown by a fielder is not out, unless his interference with the throw was intentional. It is NOT interference if the ball first passes a fielder other than the pitcher. EXAMPLE: If the runner were to be running behind the fielder, and the ball went through the fielder's legs and hit the runner, the ball is live and there is no interference. A runner hit by a fair batted ball while standing on the base is out.
Is it a dead ball when the runner going to first is safe and is hit by the ball in the process on a throw from the second baseman?
In that play the ball will never be dead unless it deflects off the runner into the stands or out of play. If it was seen as intentionally getting in the way of the ball he could be out for interference. But otherwise the ball is live
What happens to a runner when theres batter interference?
If the runner is in fair territory then the runner is out. But if the ball hits the runner in foul territory, then it would just be a foul ball. If the ball hits the runner in fair territory, the runner is out but if the batter is safe to 1st then they would be safe.
What happens if a ball hits the backstop and the on deck hitter picks it up as a runner is coming home?
Interference, runner scores
A batter is touched by a fair ball and is declared out with a runner on first can the runner on first advance to second or must he stay at first?
If a runner is touched by a fair batted ball, in fair territory, before passing a fielder, it's interference, the ball is dead, the runner is Out, and all other runners must return to the base occupied at the time of the pitch, unless forced to advance due to the batter being awarded 1B on the play.
Does batters interference have to be intentional?
No, any type of interference is against the rule. It is similar to a pitcher unintentionally hitting a batter. As it is true that the interference does not have to be intentional, there are occasions where there might be "interference" that is not called as such. i.e If a batter takes a pitch and a runner is stealing a base, if the catcher throws the ball and hits the batter or his bat, while the batter is still standing in the box, this is not called interference
If a batted ground ball hits a base runner who is on the base is the runner safe or out?
MLB rules state the ball must beat the runner to the base on a force play. If the ball and the runner reach the base at the same time the runner would be considered safe. However, there are no ties in baseball. The runner either gets there before the ball or after...Ties are only a myth.....
Does a passed ball in baseball prevent a perfect game when the runner reaches first base?
Yes, it does. In order to be a perfect game, no opposing player can reach first base safely. It doesn't matter if it was by way of an error or a passed ball, the runner cannot reach first. Bottom line, 27 batters get up and all 27 batters must be retired. No exceptions.
Can a runner advance when the batter is hit by a bunted ball out of the batters box?
no because it will be considered a dead ball
