Is it legal to hit a baseball after it bounces?

Answer 1

Yes. Taken from the official MLB rules (available in various locations on the internet): "If the pitch touches the ground and ... the batter hits such a pitch, the ensuing action shall be the same as if he hit the ball in flight."

Answer 2

no absolutely not it is an automatic strike

If the ball is pitched and hits the ground before it gets to the batter and the batter then hits the ball it is a legal hit.

Answer 3

i think you can, but it's a very bad idea
