In baseball, the fly ball rule is when a batter hits the ball high into the air, giving fielders a chance to catch it before it hits the ground. If a fielder catches a fly ball before it touches the ground, the batter is out. This rule can impact the outcome of a game by preventing the batter from getting on base or advancing runners, potentially changing the course of the game.

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.
