Sacrifice bunts and sacrifice flies are not officially counted as "at bats".
When a fly ball is caught, the batter doesn't do anything but go back to the dugout.
It is scored as a triple Really, no he caught the ball so obviously he got him out First answer is correct, batter is awarded three bases.
The bounce took place before the ball was hit so the ball is a fly ball.
Then the 2 runs that scored wouldn't count!
No.
Yes. If a foul ball is caught by a defensive player before it hits the ground the batter is out.
If a batter swings, and the ball becomes a fly ball, and that ball is caught by ANY fielder (including the catcher) before it hits the ground; the batter is out no matter what the count happens to be or whether the ball is fair or foul. MLB Rule 2.0 states that "A FLY BALL is a batted ball that goes high in the air in flight." No specific rule exists on what "high in the air" means it's entirely the judgement of the umpire.If the batter swings and partly hits the ball but the ball "goes sharp and direct from the bat to the catcher's hands and is legally caught" (again, MLB Rule 2.0), that is a foul tip. If the catcher does not catch the ball partly hit by the bat, the umpire can rule that the ball was a foul meaning the batter is NOT out if there are two strikes on him. The umpire can also rule that the ball was not hit by the bat meaning the swing was a strike and the batter is (again) out if there are two strikes on him.
A sundry is classified as an "extra", meaning a run that is scored by other than hitting the ball and count only to the teams score, with no credit to the batter.
no the batter gets a home run and its not a out
The pinch batter assumes the count that the original batter had.
The batter is out, scored 2u, not a strike out.
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."
