What else can I help you with?
If a runner is on third base with one out and you hit a grounder to second why are you charged with an at-bat if the runner scores?
The fielder made a decision to throw the batter out at first instead of throwing the runner out at home. This is considered a fielders choice.
Is a batter given a hit if he hits a ball to shortstop and shortstop can not throw out hitter but throws out runner at 3rd in a rundown from 2nd base instead of throwing to 1st?
It isn't a hit. It is a fielders choice.
Where can you throw the ball to get a force out when a runner is on 1st base and the ball is hit?
To get a force out when a runner is on 1st base and the ball is hit, you can throw the ball to 2nd base.
Is it a hit if the runner running to 3rd base gets tagged out but there is no force?
No. This would be a fielders choice and would not count as a hit for the batter.
What is the call if the base runner stealing a base is hit with the throw while running to the next base?
Error on the throw
The hitter gets a clear hit to centerfield but the runner waits too long to go to second and is thrown out at second Is it a hit or a fielders choice for the hitter?
For the play you describe, it would be a hit. A fielder's choice is when a fielder chooses to throw to another base instead of 1st base to retire the batter. I doubt the center fielder had a chance to throw out the batter at 1st base.
Why are Right fielders better arms?
Right fielders ordinarily have better arms because they are in the farthest position from 3rd base. If a ball is hit far out to left field, the runner is often let have 1st base. Right fielders need a rocket of an arm in order to stop the runner from getting on 3rd base, or rounding 3rd to home
First base in softball what does it do what does it mean?
The first baseman has a lot of responsibilities. They have to catch all the balls that their fielders throw to get runners out. They have to field all the bad throw of their fielders. They have to act as the cutoff player when a ball hit to the outfield comes home. They are responsible for fielding bunts and throwing girls out at first.
Runner on second and batter hits grounder to short and throws out runner at third is batter credited with a hit?

How do you officially score a fielder's choice?
A fielder's choice is when a fielder has choosen to make an out on another runner on base when he could of gotten the batter/runner out instead. The batter/runner is safe, therefore reaching base via a fielder's choice. Please note that this counts as an at-bat and goes against the batter's batting average.
When an outfielder attempts to throw out a runner off a basehit and his throw hits the base umpire is the ball dead?
Yes, the play ends, the batter is awarded first base, and the runner that was hit is automatically out.
Is it considered a fielder's choice or a hit when the ball is fielded but no throw is made?
Generally speaking, it would be a hit unless the fielder clearly had enough time to throw out the runner and did some other action instead (such as an attempt to tag a base runner, but not throw the ball).
