In baseball, the fly ball rule is when a batter hits the ball high into the air, giving fielders a chance to catch it before it hits the ground. If a fielder catches a fly ball before it touches the ground, the batter is out. This rule can impact the outcome of a game by preventing the batter from getting on base or advancing runners, potentially changing the course of the game.

According to the rule book, the umpire will declare the pitch a strike if the ball touches the batter as the batter strikes at the ball, or if the ball touches the batter while the ball is in the strike zone.
When discovering a new compound, you are presenting it as a scientific finding rather than a rule. It becomes part of the body of knowledge in science and must be rigorously tested and verified by other researchers before it can be considered a rule or theory.
If there are runners on base, it's a balk. Runners advance one base (MLB Rule 8.05(e)). If there's no one on base, and the pitch is delivered, a ball is called unless the batter reaches base otherwise (MLB Rule 8.01(d)).
