What else can I help you with?
How can you tell if a ball is hittable from watching?
When you know its abojt to over home plate and the batter is about to take a big swing and lookin at the ball all the way to the bat
If pitch hits ground in fastpitch baseball then hits the batter does he go to first?
A pitched ball can hit the ground before crossing home-plate. In most cases the batter would not swing and the pitch would be called a ball. But, if the batter decides the swing, the ball is still in play after hitting the ground and the batter may not hit the ball and receive a strike, or he may foul the ball, or hit a base-hit.
Is there a legal pitch where the ball bounces off the ground before it goes over the home plate?
Well No, but remember if he swings its a strike The pitch is legal but it cannot be called a strike unless the batter swings and misses or hits the ball foul. The batter may swing at a ball that hits the ground before home plate and if he hits it fair play goes on. In other words, if a batter were to hit a home run on a pitched ball that hit the ground before home plate, it would be ruled a home run.
Is it obstruction if the batter doesn't move when the runner is stealing home?
Absolutely.
If a pitcher throws the ball to the batter and he doesn't hit it?
If the batter attempts to hit the ball and misses, it is a strike. If the batter does not attempt to hit the ball and the ball enters the strike zone, it is a strike. If the batter does not attempt to hit the ball and the ball does not enter the strike zone, it is a ball (unless it hits the batter, then the batter is awarded 1st base).
The Pitcher throws towards home plate. the ball bounces in the dirt before home plate and it hits the batter is it a dead ball or hit batter?
It is a dead ball and the batter is awarded first base and is ruled a hit by pitch
If the ball hits home plate and then the batter hits it is it a fair ball?
I believe, since home plate is in fair territory, the ball would be fair and the batter would be called out for making contact with a live, fair ball. The equivelent to runner interference with the ball on the base paths. ---------- The question is unclear. If a pitched ball hits home plate, it can then be hit by the batter (former Astros player, Enos Cabell, comes to mind). However, if the batter hits the pitch, and the ball then hits the plate and bounces up into the air, and the batter then hits it a second time, he's out. The rule says if the bat hits a batted ball a second time, the batter is out, which is different the the ball hitting the bat a second time.
Is a ball caught in the stands an out?
no the batter gets a home run and its not a out
How do you play a baseball game?
! You're asking the question: How do you play a baseball game?ANSWERBaseball is a traditional, fun game played in the US and many other countries. The players you will need are, (preferably) 9 batters, a catcher behind the batter, a pitcher, a first baseman, a second baseman, a third baseman, a short stop, a left field, a left center, a center fielder, and a right field player, which adds up to 10 players on the field. One batter should go up to home plate with a helmet and bat and the pitcher will either slow pitch, fast pitch or however which way you want to pitch the ball to the batter. Hopefully, the batter will hit it. If the batter does not hit it but swings, it is a strike. Three strikes and the next batter is up and you're OUT. However, there are ways to go to first base and not even touch the ball. If the pitcher throws unruly pitches that are not good to hit, do not swing at all. If they are above your head, DON'T SWING. If they are below your waist, DON'T SWING. If they are behind you or out in the left batter's box, it would be a good idea to not swing. If you don't swing for four pitches that have been pretty bad pitches, then, you have four balls. Four balls means you have to "walk" to your first base. If the batter hits the ball, the players in the field have a chance of getting the batter out. If a field player catches the ball without it touching the ground, then it's an out. If a player gets the ball and it already touched ground, it still has a chance to get the runner out. Say left center gets the ball when it already touched the ground, left center should throw it to the nearest base (second base). If the second baseman catches the ball without it touching the ground and the batter hasn't reached that base yet, the runner is out. The same plan continues until you get a home run or the game is over. Home runs are where a batter hits the ball so far out of the field, it can run all three bases and reach home, and receive a point for their team. The game should have only 2 teams playing against each other. The object is to get every runner on the bases home and score the points! Have fun!
