When you are a runner at first base and the batter hits a ground ball does the runner need to run to second?

== Answer== It depends, If the batter hits a fly ball that is caught with less than two outs the original man on second is safe. If the runner from first can return to first before a defensive player can touch it with the ball he is also safe. If a ground ball is hit with less than two outs both runners are forced to advance. As long as the guy from first gets there before the ball he is safe and the original runner is out.


What is the call on the batter on a fly ball?

If there are runners on 1st and 3rd or bases loaded with less than two outs and the fly ball is in the infield, the umpire calls "Infield fly, the batter is out." In this case, the batter is out whether the ball is caught or dropped and all runners may return to their bases with no risk. If a runner wants to advance a base, they may do so at their won risk.If a batter hits a fly ball to the infield without the condition stated above, then it is like a normal fly ball, if it is caught it's and out. If it is not caught it is a safe ball and the defensive player must try to make the play at the base. These same rules for a fly-ball hit into the outfield.

What happens if you tag someone in kickball?

In kickball, if you tag someone, it means you physically touch them with the ball while they're off base. If the player is not on a base when tagged, they are considered out. However, if the player is on a base and the ball is not in the tagger's possession, they remain safe. The objective is to prevent players from advancing or scoring by successfully tagging them out.


What does safe mean in baseball?

He or she can remain at the base, and can continue running the next time the baseball is hit, by the next player who is up.


are you safe if you reach first base before the ball goes foul?

Yes, you are considered safe at first base if you reach it before the ball goes foul. The key factor is that you must touch the base before the ball is declared foul, which happens when it lands in foul territory or is touched by a fielder in foul ground. As long as you are on the base before the ball goes foul, you are not out and remain safe.

If a player slides into a base and gets blocked by the defensive players foot is he safe?

If the defensive player has the ball in his possession he may block the base. The runner would be called out in that situation.clarification:The defensive player does not have to have the ball in his possession to block a base. He just has to be making a play on the ball -- this could be anything from a catcher standing at home waiting on a ball being thrown from right field to a 2nd basemen waiting on a ball from the catcher on a steal attempt. As long as the player is making a play on the ball then he may "block" a base --- keep in mind though the runner has a right to get to the base through the base path which means "running over" the player no-matter which bag it takes place at -- most people believe you can only "run over" the catcher -- this is incorrect, you can "steam roll" a 3rd basemen if he is your path to the bag --- which is generally why they will stand straddling the base and not directly in front of it


What Are bases safe?
