If the ball hits the dirt on the third strike for the third out and the batter turns and walks back toward the dugout can he then turn and run to first safely?

Yes. As long as he doesn't leave the dirt around home plate. Rule 6.09(b) Comment: A batter who does not realize his situation on a third strike not caught, and who is not in the process of running to first base, shall be declared out once he leaves the dirt circle surrounding home plate."[1] 1. ^ http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/official_info/official_rules/batter_6.jsp

∙ 11y agoAccording to Major League Baseball the batter-runner is out.
MLB official rule 6.09b states that a batter becomes a runner when the third strike is called by the umpire but the pitch is not caught. The batter-runner may attempt to advance when (a) first base is not occupied or(b) with two outs and first base is occupied by a runner.
A specific comment made in the MLB official rules regarding this issue is as follows:
Rule 6.09(b) Comment: A batter who does not realize his situation on a third strike not caught, and who is not in the process of running to first base, shall be declared out once he leaves the dirt circle surrounding home plate.

Is the batter out if she turns away to go toward her dugout after a dropped third strike?
The batter is out any time the umpire judges that she has abandoned her attempt to run the bases. In this case, the umpire will probably judge that turning toward the dugout (especially if she advances toward the dugout) is an abandonment of her attempt to run the bases and call her out.
After hitting a fly ball the batter assuming it will be caught for an out jogs toward and almost to the dugout the outfielder drops the ball and the batter runs to first Is he safe?
if the ball doesnt get to the first baseman before the batter does than yes, the batter would be safe and then benched(hence jimmy rollins)

east.
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.
Does reaching base on an error count toward a player's on base percentage?
No, because if the error hadn't occurred, the batter would have been out.
Little league ball is hit and bounces back toward batter it hits batters helmet and goes out of bounds Is the batter out?
If the baseball hit the ground in foul territory, the ball is a foul ball. If the baseball hit the ground in fair territory, and the batter/runner is still in the batter's box when the baseball hits him, it is a foul ball. If the baseball hit the ground in fair territory and the batter/runner is out of the batter's box when the baseball hits him, the batter/runner is out and the ball is dead.
How is smelling the contents of a test tube done safely?
Never put your face directly over the test tube. Use your hand to fan the air above the test tube toward you and smell that way.
Can you step in front of the ball and take a walk?
No--at least in theory. If a batter doesn't make an effort to avoid the ball, it's called a strike even if it hits him. However, in Major League Baseball today players often seem to be able to fool umpires by turning sideways and leaning slightly toward the ball. A player who blatantly stepped onto the plate to ensure he gets hit, though, would certainly not be awarded a free base.
What was J J Thompson's hypothesis when he observed that rays bend toward a positively charged plate and give a negative charge to objects they strike?
He hypothesized that cathode rays are streams of electrons or negative charges
What are the physics behind Skee-ball?
When a pitcher throws a curve ball he grips the ball with his fingers to impart spin on the ball when he thows it toward the batter. This gives the ball two motions i.e. forword velocity and spin. If the spin axis is in the vertical plane (i.e. updown )the pitch will rise if it is spining clockwise (i.e. toward batter) and fall if counterclockwise(i.e. away from the batter). If the spin is in the horizontal plane clockwise spin will(i.e. toward the batter)the ball will cause the ball to move toward the 3rd base side of the batter. If the spin is clockwise (i.e away from the batter) the ball will move toward the 1st base side of the batter. The reason for the ball movement is the air is moving over one side of the ball faster then the other causing lift or a aerodynamic force in the direction of movement. This force is caused by the spin on the ball. Think about the air on one side as moving at the speed of ball forward velocity plus the spin velocity and the other side as moving at ball forword velocity less the spin velocity. Various grips, arm positions, release points will then make the ball look like it is a dancing curve.
Reason when northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun for a few months?
The Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun during summer because of the Earth's axial tilt. This tilt causes the sun's rays to strike the Northern Hemisphere more directly, creating longer days and warmer temperatures. As the Earth orbits the sun, this tilt changes, causing the seasons.
How do you respect hurt softball players?
When a player on the opposite team gets hurt, timeout is usually called. During this time, your team can get together and talk but it is important not to smile or laugh as this can be taken as disrespect. Also, if the player needs something, it would be nice to try and help them get it. You can also clap when she gets up and moves toward their dugout. You also usually kneel on one knee
