foul ball
If the baseball hit the ground in foul territory, the ball is a foul ball. If the baseball hit the ground in fair territory, and the batter/runner is still in the batter's box when the baseball hits him, it is a foul ball. If the baseball hit the ground in fair territory and the batter/runner is out of the batter's box when the baseball hits him, the batter/runner is out and the ball is dead.
as high as you can hit it in foul territory
It can be either. If the ball is hit into the air and is in foul territory at any time, it counts as a foul ball if it goes into the stands. If the ball is in the air and is in fair territory when it goes into the stands, it's a home run. If the ball is in fair territory and hits the ground, then bounces into the stands in fair territory, it's a ground rule double. If the ball bounces in fair territory but then bounces into the stands in foul territory past the infield, it's also a ground rule double. If the ball bounces in fair territory, but then bounces into the stands before it passes 1st or 3rd base, it's a foul ball.
The most common way a home run is hit is when a batter hits a ball over the fence in fair territory. The other way a home run can be hit is called an inside-the-park home run, which is when a batter hits a fair ball that does not leave playable territory and the batter reaches home plate before the defensive team puts him out and there are no errors on the play.
In baseball, a home run is scored when a batter hits the ball over the outfield fence in fair territory without it being caught by a fielder. The criteria for a home run include the ball being hit in fair territory, clearing the outfield fence, and not being caught by a fielder.
No, a force out is not considered a hit in baseball.
If in fair territory it is a Home Run. This happened to Jose Canseco in a Yankees game. The ball hit him in the head and bounced into the stands for a HR.
fair because it hit in fair territory
To participate in "fair play" means to conduct yourself in a just manner. It could also refer to a baseball play in which a ball is hit within fair territory.
If the ball remains in fair territory and the batter reaches base safely, it's called an infield hit. If the ball stays in the infield, but rolls into foul territory, it's called a foul ball. Anything else is an out.
Yes, a hit recorded by a Home Run (HR) counts as a hit in baseball.
In baseball the only defensive player allowed to be in foul territory is the catcher. Otherwise it's a fielders balk.
