Pitcher throws ball and ball hits ground first bounces up and batter hits it. is this a hit?
No. You fool.
Why does the bouncy ball bounce higher the first time it bounces?
The ground absorbs some of the energy.
How does a ball bouncing on the ground demonstrate the interaction between the ball and the ground?
When a ball bounces on the ground, it demonstrates the interaction between the ball and the ground through the transfer of energy. The ball compresses when it hits the ground, storing potential energy. This energy is then released as the ball rebounds off the ground, showing the exchange of forces between the ball and the surface it bounces on.
On a third strike is aball which is caught as it bounces out?
In the MLB, the only time a dead ball can occur on a third strike, is on the 3rd out of that half of the inning. Any other called third strike keeps the ball in play until the pitcher steps on the rubber with the ball or calls time.
If a ball lands in foul territory but bounces inside the baseline before first or third base is it fair?
Yes, it depends where the ball is first touched by the fielder.
What if a ball hits in fair territory and bounces in the air over the foul line and is touched by an infielder-is it foul?
It would depend on if the play happened within first and third base. the ball would be considered foul if it was touched in foul ground.
If a batted ball hits fair and bounces over the foul line between home plate and 1st base and the 1st baseman catches the ball in foul territory before it hits the ground is it fair or foul?
If a batted ball lands in fair territory but then crosses the foul line BEFORE passing or touching first or third base, then it is a FOUL ball. If a batted ball lands in fair territory between first and third base, bounces in the air, and crosses into foul territory before passing first or third base, it is a foul ball, even if caught on the bounce in foul territory by the first or third baseman.
What is the baseball hit into the stads a fair or foul ball?
It can be either. If the ball is hit into the air and is in foul territory at any time, it counts as a foul ball if it goes into the stands. If the ball is in the air and is in fair territory when it goes into the stands, it's a home run. If the ball is in fair territory and hits the ground, then bounces into the stands in fair territory, it's a ground rule double. If the ball bounces in fair territory but then bounces into the stands in foul territory past the infield, it's also a ground rule double. If the ball bounces in fair territory, but then bounces into the stands before it passes 1st or 3rd base, it's a foul ball.
Who is responsibility is it to call a fair or foul ball?
If it is a fly ball into the outfield up the first or third base foul line, it will be the responsibility of the first or third base umpire. If it is a (pop) fly ball in the infield area, it is generally the responsibility of the closest umpire. If it is a ground ball up the foul line between home and first or home and third, it is generally the home plate umpire's responsibility; however, if it is a bounding ball that bounces over or nearly over first or third base, or if it is a ground ball that continues to roll up the line almost to first or third, it will generally be the responsibility of the first or third base umpire. This is one of the reasons umpires work as a team for several games in succession, so they know what each of their responsibilities are. In play-off games, there may be additional umpires on the field and these responsibilities will be adjusted accordingly.
Whats fat round and bounces on the ground?
A bouncing ball.
A liner that crosses 3rd or 1st in fair territory but lands in foul ground is fair. Why is a ball that hooks over 1st or 3rd in fair territory but lands outside the foul pole a foul and not fair?
The difference is where the ball first touches the ground.For a ball that never touches the ground till after it has left the infield, the ONLY criterion for "fair or foul" is where the ball lands. If a ball is fair as it leaves the infield, but hooks such that it LANDS in foul ground, it is foul. If it lands in fair ground but then rolls or bounces foul, it remains fair. "A FAIR BALL is a batted ball that ... first falls [my emphasis] on fair territory on or beyond first base or third base". Whether the ball was a fly or a liner is irrelevent -- the only question is where it first hits the ground.For a ball that first touches the ground while still in the infield, the criterion is whether it is fair as passes the base. "The ball may zig-zag, back-and-forth, between fair and foul ground an unlimited number of times. The ruling of fair or foul is not made until the ball finally comes to a stop, or is touched, or goes past first or third base." If it bounces OVER the base after first touching the ground in the infield (fair or foul PRIOR to the base is irrelevent), then it is fair, even if it lands in foul ground.
Is a ball foul if it hits third base and is deflected into foul ground?
no, a ball is depicted on where it lands first.
