What does it mean in baseball when a pitcher uses their strength to force out a runner on base?
When a pitcher uses their strength to force out a runner on base in baseball, it means that the pitcher throws the ball quickly and accurately to a fielder who then tags or throws the ball to a base to get the runner out before they reach the base safely.
Where is the force with a runner on 2nd base?
The force is at 3rd base when there is a runner on 2nd base.
Is it a force out at second base if the out at first occurs before the out at second?
No. Any base runner that gets on base and scores is charged to the pitcher that pitched to him, regardless whether the batter reached base by a force out, error, catcher's interference,etc.
Where is there a force out when there is a runner on 3rd base?
A force out occurs when a runner on 3rd base must advance to home plate because another runner is behind them, forcing the defense to make a play to get the lead runner out.
How would you score this if the batter hits a ball the drops in center field but the runner at first is thrown out at second?
If the runner at second is out by being forced out, the batter is not given a base hit .... the play is ruled the same as if the ball was hit to an infielder that threw to second to force the runner. If the runner at second is out by being tagged because they rounded the base too far, the batter is given a base hit.
Bases loaded 1 out ball is hit to firstbaseman who tags runner and throws home is it a force at home still and can runners revert?
Yes all the other bases are a force out. The runner going to first forces the runner at first to second. The runner at first forces the runner at second to third. The runner at second forces the runner at third to home. You only have to tag the runner when a runner that was "forcing" you (from a previous base) is out. In the scenario you have mentioned the only time the third baseman would have had to tag the runner from second to third would be if the initial force out was behind the runner at either at first or second (the putout thus not forcing the runner from second to third, which would now require a tag. If the initial force out was at first or second, the runner on second would have the choice of going to third or retreating to second, and not "forced" to run. Since the initial force out was at home, the runner from second to third is still being "forced" to run by the runners behind him. Make sense?
What are the natural forces that affect running?
Drag. This is the force which acts against a runner and is the resultant force of the runner pushing against the particles in the air. Drag is affected by the mass and surface area of the runner. Friction is another force which can affect running.
Can a tag be considered a force out?
On a force out, you may either tag the base the runner is being forced to, or you may tag the runner before he gets to that base. If it is not a force out, you must tag the runner while he is off whatever base he has a legal right to occupy.
If the first baseman tags a runner instead of the base is it a force out?
yes it is a force out
Where can you throw the ball to get a force out when a runner is on 1st base and the ball is hit?
To get a force out when a runner is on 1st base and the ball is hit, you can throw the ball to 2nd base.
What is a force out in baseball and how does it differ from a tag out?
A force out in baseball happens when a runner is forced to advance to the next base because the batter becomes a base runner. The fielder only needs to touch the base with the ball to get the runner out. A tag out, on the other hand, occurs when a fielder tags a runner with the ball before the runner reaches the base.
Can a runner score before a force out is made at second after a failed attempt of making a force out at first?
IF you mean there are 2 outs then the answer is no, if the out is a force out then the run doesn't count even if the runner touched home before the ball reached the force out bag.
