If a batted ball hits fair and bounces over the foul line between home plate and 1st base and the 1st baseman catches the ball in foul territory before it hits the ground is it fair or foul?
If a batted ball lands in fair territory but then crosses the foul line BEFORE passing or touching first or third base, then it is a FOUL ball. If a batted ball lands in fair territory between first and third base, bounces in the air, and crosses into foul territory before passing first or third base, it is a foul ball, even if caught on the bounce in foul territory by the first or third baseman.
Is the ball in play if the ball hits out after it passes third base?
If the ball lands inside the lines after is crosses 3ed base and rols out it is still "in play"
Ball goes out before completely going over the base is it fair?
if a batted ball bounces in the infield and crosses over any part of 1st or 3rd base it is to be ruled a fair ball. If the ball has not bounced on the infield, the call is made depending on where it first touches the ground. if in fair territory or on the line it is a fair ball, outside the line is a foul ball. Any ball that physically hits 1st or 3rd base is a fair ball
What happens to the batter runner and other base runners if a batted ball hits a runner before passing an infielder?
If a runner is touched by a batted ball while off base before the ball passes an infielder (other than the pitcher), it's dead ball, runner is out. If the runner is on base when touched by a batted ball, it's live ball and play continues.
Forced outs in baseball?
when a runner is called out because the opposing team retrieves a batted ball and throws or runs it to the base that is one base ahead of the base he was on before the ball was batted, and he was 'forced to advance a base' because there were no open bases behind him. for example, if a man is on first base and a ball is batted in the field of play, he must reach 2nd base before the opposing team gets the ball to 2nd base...if not, he is 'forced out'
What is the official score when a base runner is hit by a batted ball?
If a base runner is hit by a batted ball before the ball contacts, or passed an infielder they are out... once the ball passes, or is contacted by an opposing player there is no penalty for being hit.
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.
If batted ball hits a base before it hits the ground is it an out?
No, it is simply a ground ball and is in play.
Is a caught ball a hit even if the runner gets on base?
If a batted ball is caught in the air, the batter is out and would not be on base. It would not be a "hit."
A fair batted ball strike the base runner after deflecting off the pitcher's glove?
Its a live ball
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
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.
