In both Baseball and softball all lines are considered to be fair territory. If a batted ball hits the line on the fly, but then rolls into foul territory, it is still considered a fair ball. This rule only applies to a ball hit past either the first or third base bag. A ball that hits the line, or inside the line, before reaching the first or third base bag is a foul ball.
The plate is in fair territory, so if a batted ball strikes the plate it has nothing to do with the play. What's considered is where is the ball when it is touched or when it comes to rest.
Yes you can tag up and advance on a caught foul ball.
Foul. It has to go beyond the batter's box to be a fair ball
If the batter "knocks" a ball foul it's foul ...if a fielder "knocks" the ball foul while in fair territory the ball is fare... the fielder can catch the ball in foul territory for an out ...
You can not get a foul but you can hit a foul ball when the ball is hit outside of the lines.
Foul
There is no limit on the number of foul balls.
yes, she can because it will give her more power to run the bases
Any ball that lands in the area within the foul line
No, in no level of softball or baseball can you use your helment or hat to catch a ball
The catcher is usually in foul territory when the pitch is thrown; although, legally, any player but the pitcher COULD be there.
There are lines placed to divide the foul territory and the fair territory. Any ball that lands on the foul territory will be called foul. When the ball enters the fair territory, ball is at play.
no. because you have to swing for it to be a foul ball .its really a strike
No...you run counterclockwise.
Yes, it is a home run if the baseball hits the foul pole.
No if it is a foul ball or if it hits the fence and you catch it it does not matter you still can play it if it is not foul but if it is foul and you catch it when it hits the fence they just call it a strike. Actually - you CAN catch a ball off the fence. There is no rule against it, however it will NOT be counted as an out. The fence is part of the field just like the ground. Therefore, if it hits the fence in foul or fair territory, it is played the same as if it had hit the ground before you caught it.
