BUT THE WAY THE RULE BOOK IS wrighten IM NOT FOR SURE THE PEOPLE IN PENN WHO WRITE THE RULES DO NOT KNOW WHAT THERE DOING I BET THEY NEVER PLAYED THE GAME. LETS PLAY THE GAME LIKE ITS INTENDED TO BE PLAYED NOT LIKE A BUNCH OF IDIOTS.
Based on the Cal Ripken minor Baseball rules, a runner cannot slide head first unless he is going back to base. Otherwise, he will be called out.
The distance from homeplate to left field is different in every ball park but it is normally between 280ft and 340ft.
.5 seconds
so the ball has something to stop it from going another 100 feet
Home plate is in fair territory, therefore the ball would be a fair ball.
If the ball landed behind home plate, it is already a foul ball, even if it rolls back into fair territory. If the batter already has 2 strikes and then the ball is bunted foul, it's an out. The above answer is wrong. If a batted ball lands behind home plate but rolls forward and settles on the plate or in front of the plate, it is a fair ball.
going down a slide
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.
Home plate is considered in fair territory. If the ball hits home plate and rolls into foul territory, the ball is foul. If the ball hits home plate and rolls into fair territory, the ball is fair.
A slide tackle is performed by a player leaving their feet, and sliding feet first in order to trap or clear the ball in order to deny possession to an opponent.
It's no difference from hitting a pitched ball. Make sure to just position it out in front of the homeplate and adjust height to your strike zone.
well if a player has the ball and is about to tag you you can slide under the ball. if its a play at home and the catcher has the ball, you slide in and knock the catcher down the ball pops out of the glove you are safe, sliding can also prevent injuries. well you slide in at home! if it is close and you are not sure if you are going to get out you should slide in! make sure that you have a sliding pad! :)if not you will get bloody knees:( and if there is a play at home and you dont slide you will be out!:(
here is an example of mass and velocity. The mass of the ball does not change, thrown by a pitcher, the ball can never go the distance that a well hit ball can, to, it has to be the upsurge in speed by being hit.
