Does a batted ball that hits a baserunner get credit with a hit?
the baserunner will be out and it will be counted as a hit
What happens when a baserunner is hit by a thrown ball?
When a baserunner is hit by a thrown ball, the ball is in play. The one exception is if the baserunner is called out for interfering with the throw. The most common such is when a baserunner runs in fair territory towards first base, and gets hit by a throw. In that case the runner is out, the ball is dead, and all other runners must return to their previous bases. Hall of Fame pitcher Tom Seaver once said that if when a pitcher fields a bunt he sees the runner running in fair territory, he should throw the ball into that player's back, getting the out and preventing anybody from advancing on the attempted sacrifice. A batter running to first should run in foul territory, otherwise he risks getting called out if he's hit by a throw. Another case of interference is if the baserunner is deemed to have intentionally moved into the throw. In a famous case from the 1978 World Series, Yankee great Reggie Jackson was forced out at second and then was hit by the throw to first. The Dodgers argued that Jackson deliberately swung his hip into the ball. Certainly Jackson made no effort to avoid the throw. However interference was not called, so Jackson successfully broke up the double play. Runners going from first to second on ground balls to first often attempt to run into the path the first baseman would use to throw to second. Chase Utley did this successfully in an April 2008 game against the Mets. First baseman Carlos Delgado's throw hit Utley in the back (Delgado was charged with a throwing error), all runners were safe, and the play ultimately led to the Phillies' victory.
Player attempts to catch a pop up and touches the ball in foul territory and it hits the ground in fair territory?
Once a batted ball is touched by a defensive player in foul territory, it is ruled a foul ball regardless if said batted ball returns to fair territory.
Does the baserunner have to go around a defender you softball?
The baserunner must give the defender the chance to field the ball. If they are not the one fielding the ball you can run into them and it's their fault.
If a batted ball hits a base runner who is on the bag but is in foul ground what happens?
If a baserunner is in foul ground and is hit by a batted ball, the ball is declared foul and all runners return to their previously occupied base, regardless of whether or not the runner that was hit was standing on the base.
In fast pitch baserunner is stealing on pitch but the ball gets away from catcher does the base runner stealing get credit for stolen base?
yes, the base runner stealing does get credit for the stolen base.
If a baserunner is hit by a batted ball and declared the third out as per rule 7.09 m does the batter still get credited with a hit?
Yes, the batter is still credited with a hit.
What would the scorebook of a batted ball hitting the batter be?
HBP by first base...Another answer: HBP (Hit By Pitch) would only apply to a pitched ball, not a batted ball.If a batted ball hits the batter while the ball is in foul territory, it is simply a foul ball. If a batted ball hits the batter while the ball is in fair territory, it would be scored as an out by interference with the catcher being credited with the putout.
A batted ball comes to rest in batters box is it foul or fair?
Most of the batter's box is in foul territory, but some of it is in fair territory, so it depends where the batted ball comes to rest.
If a batted ball hits 1st or 3rd base on a fly then rebounds to foul territory on a fly is it a foul ball?
No it is a fair ball
If a batted ball hits a runner on third base but the ball hits the runner on the foot which is in foul territory is he still out?
No
Is a batted ball fair or foul if it strikes a runner while he is on base?
It depends. If a runner is in foul territory, and is hit with a batted ball, before the batted ball reaches 1B or 3B, then it's foul. But if a batted ball hits a runner in fair territory, before passing an infielder other than the pitcher, time is called, the ball is dead, and the runner is declared out for interference. The batter is awarded 1B, but all other runners must return to the base they previously occupied.
