If the pitcher throws ball four and the catcher throws to 2nd before the runner reaches is he out?
No, it is simply ball four and the runner is safe and the batter is awarded first base on a base on balls.
Does a runner have to retouch the base before the pitcher throws the next pitch if the previous pitch was fouled out of play?
no they do not
Pitcher fields ball on the 1st baseline runner runs into pitcher - pitcher throws ball to first is the runner safe or out?
The runner is probably out for interference by running into a fielder, if not, he is out if the throw to first beat the runner and the first baseman, or whom ever is covering first, had his foot on the bag when he received the ball.
When a runner is thrown out at 1st base and no other runners are on base Where does the 1st baseman throw the ball?
I believe he throws it back to the Pitcher.
When a pitcher throws to a base to keep a runner from stealing are those throws added to his total game pitch count?
No, only pitches to home plate count towards the pitch count.
What a catcher gives a pitcher?
A catcher tells the pitcher what kinds of pitches to throw. Also, if the pitcher throws a bad pitch, the catcher can prevent the keep the ball close to prevent any base runner advancements.
If a pitcher properly steps off the rubber and throws to his short stop to tag out a runner leading off second base is this considered a balk?
No
If a catcher is credited with a putout on a strikeout does the pitcher get an assist as most stat programs do not give assists in this instance?
The pitcher does not get an assist unless the batter strikes out and the ball bounces to the pitcher, who throws the ball to the catcher, who tags out the runner.
What is a Baugh in baseball?
A bauck is an illegal move by the pitcher which throws off the runner. If an umpire catcher a pitcher doing an illegal move, all runners on base move forward one base.
Pitcher enters a game in the top of the 9th. His team is down by 1 run. A runner is caught stealing before he throws a pitch. His team wins the game in the bottom of the 9th. Is he the winning pitcher?
Yes. Even though the pitcher did not throw a pitch he was the pitcher of record when the winning runs scored. So he would get credit for the win. Let's say this happened in the 6th inning: A pitcher comes in with the bases loaded, two out, and his team is trailing 6-4. He picks the runner off of first base before he throws a pitch. In the bottom of the 6th the pitcher is pinch hit for and his team scores 4 runs to put his team ahead 8-6. The game ends with a score of 8-7. The pitcher would be credited with the win in this case because, as before, he was the pitcher of record when the go-ahead runs scored. I cannot recall this ever happening but, by rule, a pitcher can be credited with a win without throwing a single pitch.
How many balk calls are there?
There is only one call for a balk. When a pitcher is in the stretch and a runner or runners are on base, the pitcher must pause before throwing to homeplate. There can also be a balk called on the pitcher if he makes a move to throw out someone at first base, but doesn't actually throw the ball. (No fake throws to first allowed!) The last reason for a balk to be called is if a pitcher begins to move his front leg towards homeplate, but does not throw the ball to home. (Or simply pitch to the batter). A balk results in baserunners advancing one base.
A pop fly is bobbled by the outfielder and the runner takes off before he has control of the ball is it out?
The runner would be out if he does not return to the base before the fielder throws it to the base. Runners may advance from their base as soon as the ball is touched by a fielder. In this case, the runner would not be out.
