A ball that is between the two foul poles. There are rules that contradict that though.
For example -if a player makes contact with the ball before it goes foul it's still considered fair.

There are white lines that go from the edges of the front of home plate that extend over first/third base and go all the way out to the fence or edge of the field. Anything inside of those lines is fair territory.
Foul territories are the same in any league of Baseball and softball. The foul line runs along the first and third base lines and continue all the way to the fence or wall in the outfield. Any ball that lands outside of that line is considered a foul ball.
At some point a ball must hit the ground in fair territory in order to be considered "fair." If a fly ball starts its flight well within fair range, but curves into the foul area such that it lands in foul territory, it is foul.
If a ball goes out of the infield, lands in fair territory, but then richochets or rolls foul, then it remains a fair ball.
If a ball rolls in fair ground but goes foul before it leaves the infield, then it is a foul ball.

A batted ball comes to rest in batters box is it foul or fair?
Most of the batter's box is in foul territory, but some of it is in fair territory, so it depends where the batted ball comes to rest.
Is batters box fair territory?
NO, if the ball bounces in the batter's box the hit is automatically called a foul ball.
Is a ball that settles in batters box fair?
No, all of the boxes are in foul territory. The only actual "designated" areas in fair territory are the bases and the pitcher's mound.
Is a ball considered fair or foul if it hits homeplate first?
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.
If the ball is in fair territory and you kick it and have one foot in batters box are you out?
The batter would be out. However, if both feet were in the batter's box, then the batter would not be out and it would be ruled a foul ball.
Is it scored a strike out for the batter if he is hit in fair territory by his own batted ball?
If the batter is still in the batters box, it is a foul ball, otherwise, the batter will be ruled out, and it is a dead ball with runners returning to their bases This is wrong, if the ball hits the bat a second time in fair territory the batter is out, standing in the batters box means nothing in this rule. see MLB rule 6.05 h
What percentage of the batter's box is fair territory?
Sounds like homework.
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.
If a batted ball hits the pitchers mound and goes into foul territory is it fair?
If a batted ball hits the mound and then makes it into foul territory before going past 3rd or 1st base and without being touched and without stopping then it would be a foul. If it goes into foul territory after passing 1st or 3rd base, then it is fair. Likewise, if the ball stops moving or is touched by a fielder in fair territory, it is also a fair ball and in play. The key is where the ball stops moving. If the ball stops in fair territory (without having been touched in foul territory), it is a fair ball. If the ball stops in foul territory (without having been touched in fair territory or advancing beyond 1st or 3rd base), it it a foul ball, regardless of the route it took to get there.
When the home plate umpire is behind the plate is he in fair territory?
No. The Home Plate Umpire, the Catcher, and the Batters are in foul territory, because they are all positioned behind the foul lines.
Batter hits a pitch and the ball bounces and hits the batter is he out?
it depends on the situation. If the count is two strikes then it is an out because if the batter is insied the box then it is a fould ball and a two strike foul ball on a bunt attempt is an out. If there is one strike or zero strikes then the batter can be called out or a foul ball. If he is still in the batter's box and the ball touches him then it is a fould ball but if the batter is outside the batter's box and the ball touches him, then he is out.
Is the batter out if a batted ball hits him as he's running to first base?
If the batter is outside the batter's box, and is in fair territory when the ball hits them, then yes they are out. If they are in the box, or in foul territory when the ball hits them, it is just a foul ball.
