Batted ball hits pitching rubber and caught in the air?
It is a ground ball.
If the ball hits pitcher and then caught is it considered an out?
No. Its like it hit the ground.
What happens if a fly ball is caught before it touches the ground?
In the event of a batted ball being hit on the fly and was caught by an Infielder or Outfielder on the fly before it hit the ground, it will be ruled as a Fly Out and in the event of there being no outs, one out or two outs and in the event of there being runners on base, runners will have to return to their original bases prior to the pitched ball before they can advance to the next base.
What is the advantage of hitting a ground ball instead of a fly ball?
A fly ball that is caught is an out. For a ground ball, the fielder must field the ball and then make a throw to a base or tag a runner who is off his base to try and get the out.
What is the ruling if a thrown ball is caught in field equipment?
Ground rule double
If a ball gets stuck on a player is it an out?
The ball is dead and all runners advance one base. I just wanted to add onto this answer. When this happens the ball is a live ball until the runs advance a base. i.e if the ball never touches the ground and gets stuck in a jersey it would could as a lineout/fly out and the batter would be out, then it is a dead ball... if somehow it happens on a ground ball a force out can be made, but a batter cannot be tagged out
Does the catcher have to catch the third strike in his glove to not be considered a passed ball Example ball hits the catcher in the chest rolls down but traps it and does not hits the ground?
You situation has nothing to do with passed balls. You are talking about the "uncaught third strike". And no, as long as the ball does not hit the ground it is considered caught. If the batter traps the ball and he gets it before it hits the ground, he caught it. Bobbling the ball and catching it is an out.
If a foul hit is caught then the batter is out?
Yes. If a foul ball is caught by a defensive player before it hits the ground the batter is out.
A 0.650 kg basketball is dropped out of a window that is 6.46 m above the ground. The ball is caught by a person whose hands are 1.32 m above the ground. How much work is done on the ball by its weight?

Is a player out or safe if he is on the base when ball caught?
He is out. The bases only apply if he hits a ball that hits the ground or a wall in fair territory.
In baseball if a batted ball hits a base in the air and is caught before it touches the ground is it an out?
No, the bases are treated like part of the ground.
The ball in lacrosse can be blank off the ground?
What happens is the ball deforms which then flattens then returns to its normal shape which then makes it bounce. As for what happens rules-wise when the ball hits the ground, not a lot. The ball is on the ground for a fair portion of the game, which can lead to heavy contact when players vie for control of the ball.
