I presume you meant to add "and it is caught in foul territory before it hits the ground." The batter is out because that is the rule. And it's the rule because it's the rule. I can't say any more than that.
No
If you are talking about baseball/softball, then no, on the 3rd strike called by the umpire, the player/batter is out.
In MLB, according to Rule 6.05(d) the batter is called out. The play is scored as a strikeout.
surely it depends on whether the batter is left or right handed Answer: NOWHERE!
In general, baseball makes no penalty for UNINTENTIONAL inflictions of injury. An umpire who decides a batter hit a catcher on purpose on a back swing could rule the batter out. However, baseball considers such contact as part of the game; much like collissions at the plate.
Section 6 of the MLB rulebook concerns the batter. There is no clause in Section 6 stating when a batter must drop the bat, nor is there a clause in Section 6 stating that the batter must drop the bat after hitting a fair ball. There might be some obscure clause somewhere else in the MLB rule book that covers this but nothing is found in Section 6.

The batter was bunting the Baseball.
in baseball the rule is the other team throws a ball and the person who is batting has to hit it if he hits it he has to run bases. if the batter gets 3 strikes hes out and if He the batter run all three bases and back home without getting touched by a catcher its a home run.
There is no rule that says that.
