Can a runner advance when the batter is hit by a bunted ball out of the batters box?
no because it will be considered a dead ball
If a base runner is hit by the ball is it a dead ball?
No. Runner is part of the field, therefor the ball is in play and the runner is out.
Is runner out if fielder does not field the ball and the runner is then hit by the ball?
If a runner in fair territory is struck by a batted ball prior to the ball having been fielded, the runner is out.
Is the ball alive or dead when hitting a runner in fair territory?
It depends. Is the ball being thrown or is it hit. If it's hit off the bat and hits a base runner it's a dead ball and the runner is out if the ball has not passed a fielder. If the ball has already passed a fielder then the ball is live and the runner is not out. It is as if it never happened. If it hits the runner when it is thrown it is perceived as if it never hit the runner.
If the base runner gets hit with the grounded ball do the remaining base runners remain where they are?
The base runner is out that got hit with the ball as long as he is in fair territory. At this point the ball is considered dead and the runners would go to the base they should be at. Example: Runners at 1st and 2nd. Guy on 2nd running toward 3rd after ball is hit, he is hit. He is out. Runner at 1st is awarded 2nd, batter is awarded 1st and the ball is dead.
Can a base runner be thrown out if a foul ball is hit?
Yes, the ball is still considered foul if the a player catches it. They can be thrown out when trying to tag after the fly ball is caught.
If a runner is hit with the ball by a miss throw by to the second base man is the runner out?
No. To force an out, the defensive player has to touch the runner with the ball or touch the runner with the glove while the ball is in the glove. A thrown ball touching a runner does not count.
Is it a dead ball When the ball comes off the bat and hits the plate?
No, the ball is not dead and the batter may attempt to hit it.
Is it considered a fielder's choice or a hit when the ball is fielded but no throw is made?
Generally speaking, it would be a hit unless the fielder clearly had enough time to throw out the runner and did some other action instead (such as an attempt to tag a base runner, but not throw the ball).
What is the official score when a base runner is hit by a batted ball?
