Can a runner return to second after acquiring third in softball?
No they can not return to another lessor base under their on accord after the completion of the play where they gained the higher base. If the play where they gained 3rd is still live then the can choose to return to 2nd.
What does a short stop player do?
As a shortstop player myself. A shortstop is like the captain of the infeild. He must let his outfeilders know how many outs there are. If a ball is hit anywhere in the outfeild inside the park and nobody on base the player becomes the cut off man to second base. If there is a runner on first and the ball is hit to the gap for a double the shortstop lines himself up to make the cutoff to third base. If the ball is hit shallow and there is a runner on first the shortstop is the cutoff for second base, same with a runner on second and the ball is hit shallow. If there is a runner on second and the ball is hit to the gap the shortstop goes to cover third base as the third baseman becomes the cut off man but if there is a need for a double cut off the shortstop goes out to be the first cut off who thne throws it in to the second cutoff and if there is a play at home he would throw the ball to home if not he would look to see where the runners are and make sure they stay at their bags.
If a runner is returning to a base to tag up after a fly ball and the outfielder's throw back to the base goes out of play how many bases is the runner awarded?
Two bases from the base the runner occupied at the time the wild throw was made.
In how many ways can a runner score from third base?
You can just run home on a play, steal home, tag up, or be walked home (If the pitcher walks someone on loaded bases)
Can run count on catch out?
It depends on how many outs there are. If there is less than two outs and a run comes home on a caught ball they are safe, as long as they tagged the base they started on after the catch was made.For example the runner started on third, He leads off, the hitter hits the ball into the outfield. The fielder makes the catch, the runner must tag 3rd base before he goes home. If he does not "tag up" than the defence simply has to throw the ball to third to get the runner out.If there are two outs the run does not count.
How many relay races are there?
3, Original to second leg, second to third, and third to final runner.
How many outs do there have to be to advance to first base on a 3rd strike?
There can be any amount of outs but there cannot be a runner on 1st base
If a player hits a home run and there was an error in the inning how many of the runs are earned?
if there is two outs and the error would have meant the third out, then no earned runs will be charged. In all other cases, any runner who reached base on an error will not be considered an earned run ( the batter will be an earned run if the error was not supposed to be the third out.) Any runner who reaches base on a hit or walk but advances a base because of an error will still be considered an earned run when the homerun is hit (including runners who already scored on errors)
What happens when Catcher throws to first goes out of play how many bases?
By "out of play" I presume you mean in the dugout or into the stands, in which case, the batter gets 2nd base If the ball stays in play, the batter could get as far as they can advance. Little League Rule 7.05 g 'states two bases when, with no spectators on the playing field, a thrown ball goes into the stands, or into a bench, etc.' The two bases are awarded from the runner's position at the time of the throw. If the runner is running towards first base and the ball is thrown into the stands, he is awarded 2 bases (1st and 2nd) If the runner has safely reached 1st base and the shortstop throws to first because the runner rounded too far and the ball goes into the stands, it is still 2 bases, but in this case it is 2nd and 3rd as the runner already occupied first at the time of the throw.
How do scouts determine if a base runner is fast?
If you ever pay close attention to the base coaches, you'll notice that many of them hold a stopwatch. They do exactly what the scouts do. They time the runners. This helps the base coach determine whether or not it's safe to give the runner the sign to steal or if he can wave him around 3rd to score. The scouts, of course, use their stopwatches strictly to see how long it takes a runner to get from base to base.
How many ways can you score from third base?
Just milling though this in my mind, I can think of ten: Sacrifice fly Fielder's choice Base hit Wild pitch Passed ball Steal of home Squeeze bunt Error on a fielder (throwing or fielding) Ground out Balk by pitcher Sounds right to me. However, in this situation, a groundout IS a fielder's choice. A Balk, Single, Double(regular or ground rule), Triple, Home Run, Fielder's Choice, Sacrafice Fly, Sacrafice Bunt, Error (over throw and bobble), Wild Pitch, Passed Ball, Stolen Base (straight steal and/or drop 3rd strike), Walk with the bases loaded, Catchers Obstruction with the bases loaded, Hit by Pitch with the bases loaded... 15 ways I can think of (going by the way you'd score the run scoring).
How many types of bunts are there?
There are the following types of bunt: * Sacrifice bunt: A bunt that attempts to move the runner(s) to the next base(s), with the expectation that the bunter himself will be thrown out. A sacrifice bunt only occurs when there's a runner on base. The bunter usually turns to face the pitcher before the pitcher releases the ball, remains standing with both feet on the ground until after the ball hits the bat, and only begins running to first after the ball is bunted. * ** Squeeze play: A sacrifice bunt where the bunter is attempting to score a runner from third base. This is particularly difficult since the fielder will usually pick up the ball while charging home plate, with a short and fairly easy throw home. There are two types of squeeze play, described below. ** *** Suicide squeeze: A squeeze play where the runner from third starts running home as soon as the ball is pitched. If the bunter fails to make contact, the runner is usually easily tagged out by the catcher. *** Safety squeeze: A squeeze play where the runner from third starts running only after the ball is bunted. The "safety" is that the runner won't be caught on a ball that wasn't put in play. * Bunting for a base hit: There's no special name for this, but unlike a sacrifice bunt, the bunter's primary intention is to get on base. The bunter doesn't show that he's bunting until after the pitcher releases the ball, and the bunter starts running to first as the ball hits the bat. * ** Drag bunt: A left-handed hitter bunts down the first base line, while beginning to run to first. It's called a drag bunt because he appears to be dragging the ball with him as he takes his first steps towards first base.
