A pitched Baseball that hits the ground is a live ball, therefore you may swing at it. If you miss, it is a strike. If you hit it foul, it is a foul ball. If you hit it fair, whatever play results is legal.

Is a runner out if the first baseman has his hand on the ball while the ball is still no the ground but does not lift the ball off the ground?

Yes. They would be out. Think of it like this. If a runner is running home from third and the catcher slides onto the plate with the ball, the runner is still out, even though the catcher is on the ground. As long as the Defensive player has possession of the ball, and is touching the base, the offensive player would be considered out.


Can you kick a volley ball on purpose in a volley ball game?
