Catcher throws down to first while runner is running down the line and as he gets to first base the ball strikes him on the head. Call? Wow, I've never seen so many wrong answers. The answer is....it depends. The runner must run in foul territory when the ball is being thrown from the home plate direction. So if the runner was in fair territory when struck the batter/runner is out. Second point, the umpire must determine if the runner is trying to get hit my the throw. That is, is the batter/runner putting his hands up...

Once you get past the pregnancy and birthing process, I think we can simply say a parent instead of "Mom" or "Dad".

Why do anti-choice folks use the Bible claiming that God opposes abortion & life begins at conception when that's not what the Bible says?

God giving life to bones speaks to the power of God not to when life begins.

Answer to:
Is it possible for a batter to intentionally swing at a wild pitch with a 2-strike count to make it the 3rd strike and start running to 1st? absolutely. If the batter is smart enough to do this then it is perfectly legal. The only thing the umpire is looking at is whether the batter had any intention of hitting the ball. That is a pretty liberal statement meaning even if the umpire didn't think the ball was hittable, if the batter swings at about the same time that ball reaches home plate it is going to be called a strike.

BASEBALL...the batter hits a line drive, it bounces off the UMPIRES head and the second baseman catches it, is it an out? No. If the umpire is hit from a ball that comes directly off the bat, then it is umpire interference and the batter is placed at first base. All other runners remain at their time of pitch base unless forced to advance by the placement of the batter at first base. In all other situations, the umpire is part of the field but not on a batted ball.

In no ruleset can the pitcher be on the pitching rubber without the ball, with runners on base this is a balk.

Answer to:
IF AN UMPIRE CALLS A PLAYER SAFE AT FIRST BASE CAN HE OR ANOTHER UMPIRE REVERSE HIS DECISION ?? IF NOT WHY NOT?? NO. One umpire cannot overrule another. Each has specific responsibilities and it is solely up to that umpire to make the call. Any umpire is free to ask for assistance if they are blocked out or missed something but ultimately it is stil the original umpire who made the call to "change" their call.

Answer to:
Runner on 3rd w/2 outs.A batter grounds safe, the 3rd base runner scores. 1st base runner goes off the base,tagged out. Does the run count? I'm assuming your saying that the batter/runner (BR) is tagged after they have safely touched first base. In this case, the run would score, if third base runner (R3)touched home plate before the BR was tagged. If the BR is tagged before R3 touches home plate then the run would not count.

Answer to:

So even if he has lost a strike, unless the plate umpire second guesses his count and consults with the official scorer, the count is what he/she says it is.

CAN THE CATCHER STEP IN FRONT OF THE BATTER TO TAKE A PITCHED BALL No, this is catcher's interference AND if runner's on base it is also a balk. So batter is placed at first base and all runner's advance one base.

It is never a good situation but if there is a high likelihood that both mother and baby will die as a result of the pregnancy that the pro-life decision is...

Only the catcher can be in foul ground..If RF is over in foul and the batter strikes out then its noticed.What happens.Or if rf catches out. There is no penalty for a player other then the catcher being in foul territory before pitch is delivered.

Answer to:
If a runner runs into an idle fielder while attempting to steal or advance on a hit ball,what happens? Is it a dead ball advance the runner? The short answer is...it depends. Was the fielder making a play on a batted ball? If so, then it is interference on the fielder by the runner. If a play is being made on the runner when the runner is obstructed, then the play is dead and the runner is placed at the base to which the umpire thought they would have obtained, with a minimum of one base from their last legally obtained base.

Answer to:
R1 and R2 < 2 outs. B1 hits fly between 1B and 2B. Umpire callS IFR. R1 interferes with 1B and runners advance. What is the ruling? would need a little bit more information. Infield Fly is an automatic out on the batter, so if the interference occurs on the catching of the fly ball, I would let it go. However, if I ruled the interference had anything to do with the fact that the base-runners had advanced then I would also call R1 out and put R2 back on second.

Answer to:
If a pitcher comes in and retires the side without throwing a pitch, does that count against his innings pitched for that week? If your league goes by innings it does. As soon as the pitcher become "official", they are charged with one inning of pitching. Most areas now use a pitch count, instead of innings pitched. Of course, in this situation, the pitcher would have 0 pitches attributed to his appearance.

Answer to:
is runner forced out at second if ball touches glove barely before runner but ball juggled then caught As you describe, the answer is no. However, it may not be as the umpire judged the play. They may have seen the player as catching the ball and then bobbling the ball as they were taking the ball out of the glove.

Answer to:
Runner at first stealing second.Catcher throws... batter interference. Field ump calls runner "safe". Does runner go back or is he out? IN this situation, the umpire determined that the offense did something wrong (batter interference) so the offense cannot gain an advantage because of the interference. Thus the batter is called out and the runners return to their "time of pitch" base.

Answer to:
Is it legal for a pitcher to pitch with a pink pitchers glove? I would only disallow a white pitching glove. Any other colour is fine.

Answer to:
Can a pitcher pick off a runner left-handed and then pitch right-handed? It is perfectly legal for a pitcher to alternate pitching hands between every pitch if they want. The only exemption is when the batter is a switch hitter. In this situation, the pitcher must declare which hand they will use to pitch for the entire at-bat. The batter then has the freedom to choose which side they wish to hit from.

Answer to:
bases loaded with 1 out,we switch pitchers,and a ground ball goes under the right fielders glove, all 4 runs score, who gets the loss? It depends. What was the score? The only runner the last pitcher is responsible for is the batter. If the team lost by one run then the last pitcher is tagged with the loss. If the team loses by more then one run it is the pitcher that had the runner reach base that scored the winning run.

Answer to:
Catcher throws to third on a steal but, ball hits the bat of hitter. Your ruling? If the umpire determines the batter did nothing out of the ordinary to interfere then nothing is called. Otherwise as Old School indicates, the batter is out and the runner returns to second base.

Answer to:
Runner at second, pitcher throws to base,shortstop has obstructed runner. Does runner only get second base bag? If an umpire determines that a runner was obstructed, then the runner is placed at the base that the umpire thought the runner would have reached. However, the obstruction automatically gives the runner one base beyond their last legally obtained base. So in this situation, the runner would be placed at third base.

Answer to:
Ball is touched in foul territory by the left fielder. Ball, then, falls into fair territory. Ruling -- fair, or foul? This is a foul ball because it was touched first while it was in foul territory. Conversely, someone who touches a ball in fair territory, doesn't catch it but directs it into foul territory is called a fair ball.

Answer to:
What is the regulation/rule on High School Baseball Pitchers wearing prescription sport eye wear when pitching? Can't imagine there would be a rule against it. This would be a safety issue and as an umpire wouldn't take kindly to any manager who wanted the pitcher to remove their "glasses".

For sure there would be one out and if there was a chance that the catcher could have thrown the BR out at first I would have a double play. The ball would be immediately dead at the time of the interference. If I deemed only...

Why is it that righties must step back off the rubber to throw to first, while lefties do not? What you have explained is two different plays.

Answer to:
Runners first and second less than two outs, line drive to second baseman no infield fly rule called. Is it legal when a infielder purpously drops the ball to get the double play. There is a rule for this situation. It is called a deliberately dropped ball and is treated exactly the same as an infield fly. The umpire should point and immediately declare " deliberately dropped ball...the batter is out." At this point the runners on base have to be aware of the situation because the ball is still live and in play.

Answer to:
After a double play, the runner that was out at second moves over to third. Umps don't notice. Is there a way to turn this into a third out through an interference call, or something, after the next pitch? The umpire probably thought the runner didn't realize he was out and went to third. However, if the umpire suspected that the runner had gone to third and stayed there fully knowing that he had been put out at second, then the player should have been ejected from the game.

Answer to:
If a batter hits a fly ball and an outfielder jumps in the air, catches the ball, hits the home run fence, and falls over the fence into the stands -- is this an out or a home run? Short answer is as long as the fielder has not touched anything that is out-of-play, has a part of his body on or over the field of play and makes a catch it is an out. There are two different rules with regards to catching the ball "under control" and "not under control" and going out of play. In your example, the player falls, so all runners are advanced one base...

Answer to:
May a batter switch sides of the plate during an at bat? The batter may switch sides between every pitch. If the pitcher is also able to throw with both hands, then the umpire will ask the pitcher which side he is going to throw from for the entire at bat. The batter is always allowed to switch, provided the pitcher hasn't started his delivery.

Catcher drops the 3rd strike. Batter - runner sprints to 1rst base. Runner on 3rd comes home. The catcher retrieves the ball and throws to 1rst. The ball bounces off the runner into fair territory. Umpire calls the runner out - dead ball. Is this correct? Basically the umpire is calling interference on the batter/runner so he made the right call. The play is immediately dead and all runners are returned to their previously held base.

I was watching the Dodger game the other night on TV. Russel Martin was at bat on ball four the pitch hit the catcher in the mask and bounded out of play into the Cubs dugout. Martin was only awarded first base! Shouldn't he have gotten second base? ab19901 is correct, in this situation because the ball went out of play as a result of the pitch it is one base. If a defensive player had chased the ball and touched it causing the ball to go out of play, then it would be a two base award from the time of the pitch.

If the hitters foot is half on home plate & half in the box and the ball is hit into fair territory is the hitter out? The rulebook states that a batters foot must be entirely out of the batter's box when they contact a pitched ball before they can be called out.

The only time I have called a batter out is when their...

If a batter hits a ball and it goes directly from the bat to plate and goes fair, is it a fair ball or foul ball. Home plate is nothing special, it is simply part of the field in fair territory. What you need to remember is where is the ball when it is first touched by a player or comes to rest. Between home and first and home and third(infield), if the ball is touched or comes to rest in fair territory then it is a fair ball. If the ball is touched or comes to rest in foul territory it is a foul ball.

With a runner at 3rd the pitcher begins his wind-up. The runner breaks home and the pitcher speeds up in the middle of his delivery, thus, not keeping with his natural motion. is this legal? Did the pitcher do anything illegal? If not, it is a legal pitch.

Answer to:
Runner on 3rd, two outs. Batter drops one in the hole, run crosses plate, wild throw to first runner rounds first heading to second and is thrown/tagged out at 2nd. Does the run count? In this situation, once the batter safely reaches first, it becomes a timing play. That is, did the runner cross the plate before the third out is recorded. If so the run counts. If the out is recorded before the runner touches home plate then the the run doesn't count.

If a closer comes in the game with the lead, ends the inning with a tie, and then finishes the next inning with a win, how is that scored, save, win, etc.? The pitcher who is credited with a win, is the pitcher of record at the time the team officially takes the eventual game winning lead. In this case the closer was the pitcher of record when the eventual game willing lead was obtained so he is credited with a win not a save.

Answer to:
No outs. Runners on 1st and 2nd. Batter hits grounder to SS. Runner standing 2nd stays on 2nd base (forgets to run). SS tags runner standing on 2nd base then steps on 2nd base bag for the force. Is this a double play? Our ump said runner @ 2nd safe. Because of the order of the tags (Baserunner then 2nd base) it is a double play. Had the 2nd baseman tagged 2nd first then the runner originally at 2nd base would have been safe.

Ball hit to outfield & not caught. LeftCenter fielder throws ball in to shortstop who is cut-off man. Baserunner going from 2nd to 3rd kicks ball & it goes out of bounds. Is ball dead at moment of kick? Can baserunners keep going? It depends. If the runner delibrately kicked the ball then the play is immediately dead, runner is out and all other runners return to their last legally obtained base. If the runner did not delibrately kick the ball then it is a live ball and play continues. In this case since the ball went in dead ball territory, all runners would be awarded 2 bases from the time of the last throw.

Answer to:
Fly foul ball caught in the infield. Runner at first is coming back. Can they be tagged out or are they allowed back since it was a caught infield fly ball?

A relief pitcher inherits a runner at first base with one out. The runner at first is put out at second on a fielder's choice (second out). When new runner at first scores on a triple is the earned run credited to the starting pitcher or relief pitcher?

Basically, the run is charged against the pitcher that allowed the batter to become a runner.

Answer to:
I hit a ball to second base. The second baseman flipped the ball to the first baseman while he was still running towards the bag. He caught the ball, tagged the base and dropped the ball immediately after tagging the base. I was called out.

At least that is what the umpire would have told you. As you state it, you probably should have been save but I'm sure there are at least two sides to this story!! :)

Can appeal to home get him out since he didn't retrace tracks? Since the defence only has one opportunity to appeal a play and their appeal was unsuccessful, (ball thrown into the dugout) the play stands and run counts. The defence cannot appeal at home plate because the runner didn't miss home plate, they left early from third. The umpire was in error by allowing the runner to go back to third and then proceed home. He should have simply...

Answer to:
Runner on 3rd, 1 out. Batter pops up to 2nd base who dropped the ball, throws wide to 1st. Runner on 3rd went back to 3rd and scored on throw. After play unpire rule it was a legal catch, ball dropped on transfer. Ruling runner can not advance. Correct? The runner legally tagged up on the caught ball so they are allowed to advance after the tag. Run scores.

Answer to:
ON A DROPED THIRD STRIKE AND THE HITTER REACHES FIRST BASE WOULD THIS COUNT AS AN OFFICAL AT BAT? Not exactly sure on this one, but I think it would be recorded as a strike out and then depending on the situation a wild pitch, passed ball or error.

Answer to:
When a pitcher uses the inside pick off move and spins around towards second does he have to throw (little league)? The only base that the pitcher must throw to is to first. They are allowed to fake a throw to either second or third(providing there are runners at those bases).

Answer to:
In baseball, if a ball is hit and land on foul territory first along the white line, but the ball goes into fair territory before reaching first base, is the ball consider fair or foul. Basically, you have two scenarios: 1) Ball lands or is touched beyond first or third: -if touched or lands in fair territory(including foul line) it is a fair ball. - if touched or lands in foul territory it is a foul ball 2) ball not past first or third: - if touched or stops in fair territory (including foul line) it is a fair ball. - if touched or stops in foul...

Answer to:
Runner on 1st, Batter hits HR w/ 2 outs. Runner misses 2nd base, goes back to touch it with batter on base also, batter doesn't pass runner. Both go on to score. Opponent appeals and tags second when ball put in play. Do runs count? The offense hasn't done anything wrong. No runners have passed each other and because R1 has not touched 3rd base he is allowed to return to touch 2nd. Even if the batter/runner(BR) had already passed second, R1 could stop tell BR to return to second and allow R1 to return and retouch second base. two runs score.

Answer to:
I heard a rumor about a pitcher in the late 1800s that asked his team to step out of the field and then he struck out the side,,did this actually happened? Not sure in baseball, but I do know it happened with a fastball team that would tour the country playing local teams. The pitcher was so good that he would actually tell the batter what he was throwing and the batter still couldn't hit it. Then in the last inning he told the rest of the team (except catcher) to sit down and he proceeded to strike out the three batters to end the...

In Little League baseball, 12U, if a pitcher, in between innings, comes to the mound and throws a pitch to the catcher, does he have to pitch to a batter? Technically speaking, yes. This happens every once in a while where a youngster stops at the mound while going to their real position and picks up the gameball and throws a pitch home. That officially makes them the next pitcher in the game, however, I'm never enforced the rule but talk to the coach about the rule and ask if they really want to make a pitching change.

Answer to:
In baseball if you have a runner on 1st and 3rd base and baserunner on third takes his lead and its onto the outfeild grass is he out? think about it first then give an explanation. The runner has done nothing wrong. Play on. There is no basepath until the defense is making a play on a runner. The runner's have the ability to run all over the field as long as they don't pass another runner or run outside a 3 foot path directly between them and a base "when the defense is making a play on them"

Answer to:
RUNNER ON FIRST IS OBSTRUCTED BY THE SHORTSTOP AND FALLS DOWN, THE BATTER-RUNNER PASSES THE FALLEN RUNNER, WHAT IS THE CALL? If you have Type A Obstruction the play is immediately dead and the umpires place the runners accordingly.

With Type B obstruction, once the umpire calls obstruction on the defender then there is some leeway with the subsequent...

Answer to:
Runners of 1st and 2nd two out, B1 hits home run over fence, but misses 2nd base, how many runs score It depends.... If the defense doesn't appeal the missed base then 3 runs score. If defense appeals after the batter touches third base then no runs score. If there had been a runner at third then 1 run would score. If the batter had missed first base, no runs would score regardless of the runners because the third out would have been made before the batter reached first base.

Answer to:
If a fielder makes a catch at a base and simultaneously a collision follows the catch and the fielder drops the ball, is the runner safe? This is a "depends". Basically, the umpire must decide if the offensive player did ANYTHING to interfere with the defensive player making the play. If the offensive player was simply doing exactly as they were suppose to, that is, going directly to the base then it would be called a "train wreck" and no interference would be called.

Answer to:
You make the call: Runner on third heading home. Outfdielder throws home. CAtcher tags runner with the wrong hand (not th eone holding the ball) but the runner misses the plate. At this point, no call. The runner is not safe because he didn't touch home plate and the runner is not out because he wasn't tagged with the ball or the hand that contained the ball. If the runner simply walks to his dugout and the defensive team doesn't attempt to tag the runner or appeal his missing homeplate then the run would score. (As strange as that seems.) I...

If a pitcher enters a game in the bottom of an inning with two out and a runner on base and picks the runner off before throwing a pitch, may he be pinch hit for in the top of the next, even though he never threw a pitch? Yes, this is perfectly legal. Only the starting pitcher MUST pitch to a batter and it must be an entire at-bat not just one pitch.

If so the ball could have some value, otherwise unless you're a Gunslinger's fan I don't think it would have much value.

In little league baseball, if the first baseman is standing on the bag (trying to hold the runner on) and the runner on first base starts to run as the ball is hit but the two player run into each other immediately, is the runner out for interference? It depends. Did the first baseman have a reasonable possibility of making a play on the hit? If so, yes the runner is out and the batter is placed on first. (If there were any other runners they would return to their time of pitch base). However, if the first baseman didn't have a possibility of making a play on the batted ball then it is obstruction on the runner and the umpire...

Answer to:
In youth baseball can a pitcher be replaced at any time during an at bat? It depends on the ruleset being used. Typically the only difference with regards to pitching is the number of pitches a younger player is allowed during one game and/or one day. Regular rule is the defense is allowed to change the pitcher once during an at-bat.

Interference? 2 outs, man on 2nd. Batter swings and misses strike 2. Ball pops out of catchers mit and rolls by batters foot. Batter stumbles around it, then sees it and kicks it to the catcher (non-malicious). Ump calls him out If the runner had been attempting to steal third on the play then for sure the batter would be called out on interference. If the runner wasn't going anywhere and the batter simply kicked the ball to the catcher to give him the ball, then I think the umpire "over-umpired" by calling the batter out. I would have simply told the batter to not touch the ball. Granted, the...

Answer to:
If a runner tries to score and he is tagged out by the catcher before touching the plate but the catcher momentarily bobbles the ball but quickly retains possesion without the ball leaving his mitt, is he out or does he have to be re-tagged? It depends whether the bobble is a result of the tag. If the umpire deems that the bobble took place either before or during the tag then the runner is save and must be retagged. In order for an out to be registered the defensive player must have full control of the baseball, before, during AND after the tag.

Answer to:
In a baseball game a batter hits a home run. The umpire then discovers the fielding team only has 8 players in the field. Does the home run count?

What is the order that umpires call out the number of balls and strikes? I like to remember it as BS. (Balls then strikes)

Answer to:
Does a runner have to retouch his respective base after a ball or a strike is pitched and is either taken or swung on and missed. I think the rule you are looking at pertains to a ball that is actually swung on and either hit in fair or foul Obviously there is nothing in the rulebook that requires a runner to retouch his "at pitch base". If there was then all runners that steal a base could simply be touched with the ball because they would be required to retouch their original base after the pitch before attempting to steal the next base!!!

Answer to:
How about changing the rule as follows: If the closing pitcher in the half-inning before the winning run scores is a reliever, he gets the win, otherwise the first pitcher of the winning team with the most outs in the game is declared the winner.

Answer to:
On a pass ball a runner attempt to score running in fair territory he is hit with the ball is he out or safe? There are only two instances when a runner is declared out for getting hit by a live ball: 1) When it comes directly off the bat and hasn't passed directly through a defensive player first. 2) The umpire deems the runner as intentionally going into the path of a thrown ball.

Answer to:
Bases are full, 2 outs and batter makes it to 3rd base before the lead runner is tagged out trying to score (he fell and got injured). Does the batter receive a triple? In this situation, the following runners would have picked up the runner and carried him to home plate. Each runner whould then touch home in the correct order.

Answer to:
Little League: runners on 1st & 2nd. batter hits the ball towards the 1st baseman, he runs in picks up the ball and tags the batter, then throws to 2nd base. the 2nd baseman steps on the base, OUT? no the umpire called him safe. wh As soon as the first baseman touched the batter/runner the force is removed from the runner that was originally at first base. Meaning that runner could return to first if they so chose. When a runner has a choice as to which base they want to run to the runner must then be touched with the ball to get the out. Good call by the umpire.

Answer to:
After arriving at first safely, and turning right into foul territory, can the runner advance to second on a wild throw that stays in bound or does he have to stay on first base? If the ball is in play the runner is free to do anything he wants. However, there is a special rule with regards to first base. It is the only base where the runner is allowed to run through the base and then return immediately to first base without the liability of being tagged out. (It doesn't matter which way he turns, left or right as long as it is directly back to first base) ...

A fly out to center and runner on first is thrown out before returning to base. These are the 2nd and 3rd outs. A runner from third crosses plate before out number 3- does this run score? Yes this run counts. Only if the third out of the inning is a force will no runs score. In this case the runner is out by appeal and not a force. Remember a force is a situation whereby a batter becomes a runner and forces a runner to proceed to the next base so in this situation the batter is out so the runner which was originally at first base isn't forced back to first he simply...

If a batter touches home plate with his foot during his swing, is he out? In Official Baseball rules the entire foot must be outside of the batter box and touching the ground in order for an invalid hit to be called.

Who covers 2nd on a stolen base attempt, SS or 2b? Does it depend on the situation? Usually, whichever infielder is closer to the base is the one that will take the throw on a steal. i.e. depends on which side of the diamond the infielders are shifted to.

Answer to:
For a left handed pitcher is there an imaginary 45 degree line in regards to a balk. We have a lefty pitcher that got called for a balk because the ump said he didn't step directly towards 1st base. Technically speaking there is NO 45 degree line with regards to a balk. However, having said that, most umpires will use an imaginary 45 degree line between first and home to differentiate between a step towards home and a step towards first. If the pitchers foot is closer to home then to first then a throw to first will result in a balk. If the pitchers foot is closet to first then to home...

Answer to:

It doesn't matter where home plate is (It is infact in fair territory), however whether a ball is fair or foul before 1st and 3rd base is where a person touches the ball!!! The ball can land foul and then roll into fair territory and it is a fair ball!!!!!

Answer to:
Bases Loaded, 1 out. Infield fly, batter called out . 2nd baseman drops fly ball. Runners confused and run. Runner at 3rd scores before 2nd baseman tags out runner going from 1st to 2nd. Run count? Umpire said yes b/c it was not a force out at 2nd. The umpire would be correct. Because an infield fly was called the runners were not forced to leave their time of pitch base. So the third out was NOT a force and the run would depend on whether it took place before the third out. Good call by the umpire.

Answer to:
2 outs, man on 2nd. Batter grounds to pitcher. Pitcher throws to 1st, pulling 1b off of bag. Ump calls him out. Runner on 2nd continues past 3rd to home. Coaches "appeal" the play to home ump, he rules batter was safe. Should runner go back to 3rd? Firstly, one umpire CANNOT overrule another umpire. That was the Base umpire's call and only he can decide if he wants to talk to the plate umpire about whether there was a pulled foot or not. Then it is the base umpire who changes his call on the play at first. As for the runner at second, I would place the runner back at third but not sure what rule reference to quote.

Answer to:
If a ball is hit into the right field along the line, hits the foul post, and bounces into foul territory. Is it foul or fair? Unlike other sports like football or basketball, the foul lines in basebase are actually "fair" lines. That is, if the ball touches any part of the foul lines the ball is fair and playable. Since the foul posts are continuations of the foul lines the hit would be a home run.

No need for the home team to bat since they've already won the game.

LL Baseball -On a pop up, runner at 1st does not tag up and runs to 3rd. Fielding team makes play at 3rd but runner is safe.

In this situation, you may tag the player or first base to appeal the non-tagup. However, the defense must make it clear that they are appealing the non-tag and not simply tagging the runner for the heck of it.

Answer to:

In order for a batted ball to be fair it must either touch a person or a base, otherwise it is a foul ball.

Can a pitcher wear a bandage on his throwing hand or finger? I would have to see the injury on the finger before allowing a bandage to be worn.

Answer to:
When a player catches the ball and tags the runner with the ball in his hand not in his glove is it an out? Straight from the Official Baseball Rules: A TAG is the action of a fielder in touching a base with his body while holding the ball securely and firmly in his hand or glove; or touching a runner with the ball, or with his hand or glove holding the ball, while holding the ball securely and firmly in his hand or glove. So in short, Yes the runner is out.

I can understand the fingers being part of the bat, but not the wrist. Can you help me out. Let me put this as clearly as I can: NO PART OF THE HUMAN BODY IS PART OF THE BAT!!!!!! If the batter is attempting to hit the ball when it hits him then it is simply a strike. However, if the batter is struck by a pitched ball it is an immediate dead ball and the batter is awarded first base. Doesn't matter if the ball hits him in the head, butt, foot, finger, groin, or wrist!!!!!

Umpire cited circle rule? No such rule in Official Baseball Rules. There might be a local rule that prohibits stealing. Without local rule the umpire was mistaken, the ball is live and the runners are free to steal at will.

Answer to:
Bases loaded, No outs, Pop fly to the infield hits in front of 3rd base and rolls foul. Is the batter out (Infield fly) or is it foul ball? Since the ball ended up in foul territory before either first or third base then it is a foul ball. Even if the umpire did declare it an infield fly. Any fly ball that has a chance of being a foul ball should be declare by the umpire, "Infield Fly. Batter is out if fair."

The reason for the rest is exactly that giving the youngsters arm a rest. The reason why the pitcher can pitch up to 6 innings on a day but not 3 innings on consecutive days is because the arm takes some time warm up.

Runners1st & 2nd 2 outs Base hit CF. CFer throws home, catcher catches ball at home, lead runner retreats back to 3rd. Batter on 2nd, runner starting on 1st is between 2nd & 3rd. Catcher throws ball back to pitcher on rubber, Is one of runners out? NO. IN order to get an out the runner between 2nd and 3rd would have to be tagged while off the base. IN baseball, it is common for the runners to be off their respective bases while the pitcher is in contact with the rubber. It is called a "getting a lead off". Perfectly legal for the runner to do.

Answer to:
When does a "batted ball" become a non batted ball? When the defense makes a throw. Until such time the ball is a batted ball. The difference is used when calling interference, on a batted ball the runners must avoid interfering with the defense regardless of intent. However, on a thrown ball the interference must be intentional.

Answer to:
If a runner at second base breaks for third, and the pitcher throws directly to third, without stepping off of the rubber, is it a balk? Straight out of the Official Baseball Rules: 8.05(d) The pitcher, while touching his plate, throws, or feints a throw to an unoccupied base, except for the purpose of making a play; IN this case the pitcher is throwing to third to make a play so it is legal and NOT a balk.

Answer to:
Base runner on 2nd &3rd. Ball hit to short stop who drops it. Runner on 3rd goes home, runner on 2nd sees the SS in trouble with the ball & runs in frt to 3rd - home. SS gets control of ball and tries to throw when runner goes by. Ump interference runner? If in the umpires opinion the runner prevented the defensive player from making a play on a batted ball (which this was) then it is offensive interference. BTW, if less then two outs, the runner originally on third would be returned to third and the batter placed on first.

Answer to:
In baseball, if the ball is hit directly at the pitcher on the ground and it bounces off of the rubber on the mound and goes up in the air and lands behind the catcher in fould territory without hitting any fielders, is the ball fair or foul? It is a foul ball. The pitching rubber is deemed part of the field and so because the ball came to rest in foul territory it is deemed a foul ball.

What is the ruling when a baseball player throws his glove and hits the ball to knock it down? If the fielder stops a hit ball, the runner is guaranteed at least three bases. However, the play is not dead and is allowed to proceed. If the runner gets past three bases on his own then the award is ignored. If the umpires deem the hit ball would have been a homerun, it is declared as such. If the field stops a thrown ball, then it is two bases from the bases where the runner was...

Why do coaches pull the 1st baseman over to take cut off throws from the outfield when the pitcher is in a better position to do so without abandoning his base? It depends on the situation. If the first baseman is out to catch a ball from the outfield it usually means that the runner is already passed first. The pitcher in these situations is the backup person for both third and home. That is, the pitcher is standing in foul territory behind whichever base there is more likely to be a play. If there is a bad throw and the ball gets past either...

Can't they modify the season so that the Stanley cup is not decided in June? Absolutely. They could shorten the regular season, shorten the playoff season or even play the same number of games but less days without games. Of course, the owners don't want to shorten either the regular or playoff season because that is money in their pocket and the players don't want to play the same number of games in a shorter time period because of fatigue.

Answer to:
If a right hander pitcher has a runner on 3rd, can he actually bring his left leg up and STOP his motion and freeze the runner before throwing home? I thought it had to be one continuous motion? Once a pitcher starts his motion he must not stop. Of course there is a very small stop when he goes from taking his leg backwards to moving it forward but this should not be a prolonged pause. If the pitcher does pause or stop his motion with a runner on base it is a balk.

Answer to:
Does a baserunner need to re-touch a base after a foul ball? For example...A runner on second base takes his lead and the batter fouls the pitch out of play. Is the runner on 2nd out if he keeps his lead and does not re-touch 2nd base prior to the next The runners need to retouch and be on the base when the umpire puts the ball "back into play". If this wasn't the case, picture the following scenario. Runner at first base, foul ball is hit. Runner runs up to second and stands a foot away. Since the umpire cannot call the play live until the pitcher is on the mound with the ball the defense has no way of throwing the...

Answer to:
A foul ball is hit, the first baseman while attempting to make the play, is accidentally interfered with by first base coach? I'm assuming that you want to know what the call should be. If the umpire determines that the basecoach didn't have time to get out of the way then it is a "no-call". Otherwise the batter is out and the runners (if any) stay at their Time of Pitch base.

Is it a home run if the ball hits the outfielder's glove over the wall and comes back into fair play? If the ball only hits the defensive player's hand or glove and then comes back over the fence it is not a homerun.

In someone who's not a beginner in pitching, does long-toss have any benefit? Even if they are a beginner, does it have more of a benefit than throwing from the mound?

In batting 12 players, fielding 9 (3 are eh) a player is injured and out for the game, what happens when it is his time to bat, is he an out or just skipped? This is a local rule set, check the local rules. I know in the leagues around here, we simply skip the injured player in the lineup. However, there is no official rule on this situation in any of the rule sets.

Answer to:

Baseball; Runer on first, pitcher in the set position, runner at first takes off reaching second base before the pitch is made and rounds second base going for third, the pitch is made and fouled away.... what base does the runner have to return to? The base would be determined by the last base the runner had obtained before the pitcher had STARTED his pitching motion. So if the pitcher didn't start his pitch towards home until after the runner had already obtained second base, the runner would have to return to second. However, if the runner was even 1 foot away from obtaining second when the pitcher started his movement to pitch...

Runner on 3rd w/ 2 outs. A ball is hit to an infielder and there is a play at 1st. The runner at 3rd crosses home plate. The run is negated b/c the batter is called out. The call is appealed to the home ump and the runner is safe. Does the run count? Firstly, there is no such thing as appealing to the home umpire to "overrule" the base umpire!! That is the base umpire's call and his alone. Now, if the offense feels that there was something that perhaps the field umpire missed, such as a pulled foot by the first baseman, then the offense can ASK the base umpire to talk with his partner. After the conversation, the base...

Answer to:
A fly ball which hits a fielders glove, then bounces out of of glove and off outfield wall, and is re-caught before touching the ground is a Hit, or an Out? This would be a hit. This is no different then if the ball is caught off a rebound off the outfield wall. IN order to be an out, the ball must be caught directly off the bat, or some other defensive person. i.e. if the shortstop tries to catch the ball but deflects it directly to the second baseman who then catches the ball before it touches the ground.

At what point does the umpire declare B1 out, and under which rule? the BR is out when he is tagged or someone touches first base before BR does. As long as the BR remains between home and first he is free to run back and forth between first and home. The BR may want to move runners along and prolong the play to avoid a double play. Perfectly acceptable play on the runners part.

I would agree that maybe the police were a bit over the top but they don't care about your credentials when you're doing something illegal. Even top racecar drivers will get a speeding ticket on the public highway if they are going 60 in a 30. Even though they are used to driving well in excess of 60.

Answer to:
Runner is on second base, batter hits ball to left field, runner rounds third and left fielder tries to get tag play at home, batter rounds first and sees the throw to plate and tries to steal second and gets thrown out from the catcher. is this fc or hit I've only seen two plays in my live where a left fielder was able to throw a runner out at first on a hit. This is always registered as a hit.

Answer to:
When a man is on first and a ground ball is hit, why does the fielder automatically throw to first base instead of to second base? The only time this situation would occur is if there are two outs and a relatively slow batter. Since the runner at first has a lead it is easier to go to first to get the third out. However, this is by no means an "automatic" play. If there is a slow runner on first and the ball is hit to F4 or F6 who are close to second base then the play will likely be to second rather then...

If a batter hits a ball into fair territory, drops his bat and begins to run; the ball bounces or rolls back and hits the bat, which also is in fair territory; is it a fair ball, foul ball, a dead ball, a delayed dead ball, or This is one that is a little tricky. The main decision is this: 1) Did the bat hit the ball? If so, time is called, the batter is automatically out and all runners return to their time of pitch base. 2) Did the ball hit the bat? If so then the play continues without interruption. If the ball hits the bat and is first touched or comes to rest in foul territory then the ball is foul....

Same with religion, if the religion gets you closer to God and helps you build better relationships with others around you it is a good thing. As to who gets into heaven, leave the judging to God who alone has the right to judge.

If a runner is forced from a base, but stays on the base, can he be tagged? (i. e. - a ball hit sharply to the first baseman, runner hasn't left the base yet, can he tag the runner and then step on the base to get a double play.) Once a batter hits the ball and a runner is "forced" to leave the base, then that base offers no protection from being tagged. Your example would indeed result in a double play. However, if the first baseman tags the base first and then the original runner on first(R1) there would only be one out because by touching the base first, the first baseman removes the "force"...

So simply rounding third so wide that he runs into his teammates doesn't automatically make him out. But if the teammates help him up and towards a base then the umpire will likely call interference and the runner will be out. But simply running into...

Bases are loaded with one out. Batter hits the ball towards the 2nd baseman. The runner on first (half way to second) gets hit by the ball before it reaches the fielder and before the runner on third reaches home. Whose is out? Does the runner score? There are two scenarios here: Umpire judges runner got hit by accident. In this case, the runner on first (R1) is out, runners on 2nd and 3rd are returned to their bases and the batter/runner is placed on first. If the umpire judges that R1 was hit by the ball on purpose to avoid the double play then both the runner R1 and the batter/runner are called out. So double play and the inning is...

Can a single unmarried woman have a baby outside of marriage and still be accepted in the chuch? Having a baby isn't an ongoing situation that you are choosing to go against what the Church is teaching so you should have no problems in the Church. Having said that, people are very poor in accepting. However, the priest or minister should have no problem accepting you and your child because you have chosen the path of life (instead of abortion). Unlike living together,...

My question is this - if a pitcher starts his motion with his pivot foot on the rubber, must that pivot foot remain on the rubber throughout his delivery? When a pitcher is pitching from the full-windup it is normal for him/her to lift their pivot foot to place it just in front of the rubber. Perfectly legal. From the stretch position the pivot usually starts touching the front of the rubber and doesn't move.

Answer to:
Bases loaded and only 1 out. foul ball is caught by 3rd baseman and his momentum takes him into a dugout or into the stands. are runners entitled to move up 1 base? The answer is it depends. If the fielder falls into the dugout or stands then each baserunner is awarded one base from their Time of Pitch base. If the fielder walks into the dugout then the ball is live and in play. However, the fielder must step out of the dugout to throw the ball. So to simplify, if in the stands after catch: 1 base award. If fall into dugout after catch: 1 base...

A baseball is hit slightly outside the 3rd baseline, strikes the 3rd base coach who is outside the coaches box up the line toward home, the ball ricochets to the 3rd baseman in in the air and in fair play; what is the correct ruling? The ball is foul because it touched a player or coach in foul territory before it past first or third base.

Answer to:
Is it interference if a third base coach touchs an out baserunner standing in foul territory, therefore interfering with that baserunners opportunity to commit interference during completion of that play. The umpire asks themselves this question: "By touching a runner did the coach definitely interfere with the outcome of a play?" If yes then the runner is out or in this case if the runner is already out then someone else. However, I can't see how a runner who is out could cause interference because a runner can only interfere with a defensive person playing a batted ball.

Example, top of the ninth inning and game tied when the pitcher is changed with two away and a runner on first base. The pitcher...

Answer to:
If the starting pitcher throws warm-up pitches in the top of the third inning, does that pitcher have to pitch to one batter, or can the manager substitute the pitcher for a reliever?

The manager can't simply pull the pitcher because he doesn't like what he sees from the pitcher. The pitcher must complete the first batter's 'at bat'.

Answer to:
When a pitcher commits a balk does it count as a ball or a "no pitch"? When an umpire enforces a balk it is treated as a no pitch.

In this situation, if runners are on base it is a balk but if no runners are on base it is called a ball.

Answer to:
Runner on first advances to second on a past ball by catcher. The runner returns to first base thinking it was a foul ball. The pitcher throws the ball to first baseman who tags runner. Field ump calls runner out. Plate ump reverses call. Who's correct? IT is a strange play, but the runner would still be save. In the rulebook it indicates that if a runner retreats back towards a previous base (for whatever reason) then their "current" base is the previous base. So in this situation the runner achieved second but when they began to run back to first, their current base became first again and the runner was eligible to stay at...

Whose player stole second base two times int he same inning? I remember Andre Dawson when he played for the Montreal Expos stole second twice in one play!!

So he "stole" second twice in one play!!! :)

A batter swings at a pitch and the home plate umpire asks the 1st or 3rd base umpire to make a determination whether the pitch should be called a strike or a ball. what does the base umpire look for in determining what call to make.

If so it is a strike. It doesn't matter where the bat goes, whether the batter "breaks" his wrists or any other criteria. Simply did the batter attempt to...

Answer to:
If a batter while in the batters box is struck by pitched ball but makes no attempt to move is he awarded 1st base In OBR, the batter must make some effort to avoid the pitch. Having said that, very rarely will a umpire not award first when the batter is hit, except when the pitch is a strike. It is easy to say that the ball moved too quickly and the batter didn't have time to move.

If a base is occupied by two base runners, and the ball is thrown to the pitcher, what happens? There is nothing to call at this point. Nobody has been tagged with the ball. Runners are free to stand anywhere they want on the field of play and are only required to go directly to one of "their" bases when the defense is attempting to tag them. The pitcher is free to pitch and there is no call. However, I doubt this would happen.

All runners and batter are only "forced" to the base after the "Time of Pitch" and only when there is no empty base between themselves and first base. i.e. a runner on second(R2) (if there is also a runner on first) is forced to run to third on a base hit because the batter and runner at first are moving to their next base after the hit. Once R2 has touched third base...

Bottom of the 9th,tie score,bases loaded,2 outs. Batter gets HBP. Instead of going to 1st, the batter charges the mound, fights & gets tossed. Does the game end when the runner on 3rd touches home, or must the batter also touch 1st? Do they now need a PR? Same answer as the "other" question. The play is immediately dead when the ball hits the batter. So no out can be registered until the ball is put back into play. The batter/runner can be ejected from the game but that doesn't mean that he is "out". A pinch runner can now go into the game for the ejected player and the game continues.

Answer to:
Same but different. Bottom of the 9th,tie score,bases loaded,2 outs. Batter gets HBP. Instead of going home the runner on 3rd charges the mound, fights, & gets tossed. Does the hitting team need a PR to go from 3rd to home? Firstly, this would never happen!!! In this case, the ball is immediately dead on hit batsman and as a result ALL players advance one base without liability of being put out. So when the runner at third gets ejected he is not "out" just ejected. So a pinch runner can go in after the ejection and complete the run from third to home.

What is a pick off? A pick-off is anytime the defense is successful in tagging a runner while they are not touching a base after the runner has successfully obtained first base. Usually, it is the pitcher or backcatcher who throw to a teammate who then tags the runner to get an out. However, there are some trick plays where some other defensive player, usually the first baseman who goes to talk with the...

Answer to:
Is a baseball pitcher permitted to wear dark reflective sunglasses? This is a grey area. As long as the glasses aren't distracting the umpire will usually not do anything. However, I have seen some umpires ask pitchers to remove sunglasses.

Answer to:
If a batter swings at a pitch and misses and is hit by the ball, is it a strike, or is considered being hit by a pitch? Example: Batter leans over the plate to bunt, misses and is hit by the ball. If the batter swings at the pitch or the umpire deems the ball was in the strike zone when it hit the batter then the correct call is: 1) Time!!! 2) Strike! 3) All runners return to their "Time of Pitch" base. 4) Play Ball!

Answer to:
Pony baseball...mlb rules, Does a visit by the manager to the pitcher BETWEEN innings (pitcher warming up) count as a visit? In other words, would the next visit by the manager, after the first pitch of the inning, count as the first or second visit? Not sure about "Pony Rules" but for Official Baseball Rules used by MLB there is no such thing a "between" innings. Once a team takes the field the inning has started and if the manager goes out to talk to the pitcher then it is a visit. The umpire may give some leeway in this manner but strictly speaking it should be registered as an visit to the mound.

Answer to:
If a pitcher is removed with a 2-2 count which pitcher is responsible for the walk? This is one of those bezarre situations in baseball where the original pitcher is charged if the batter is walked and the relief pitcher is credited with a strike out if the batter is struck out. Just FYI, it doesn't matter what the count is when the relief pitcher enters the game.

Answer to:
Can a starting pitcher be pinch hit for in the top of the first inning without pitching to a batter No, the pitcher that is recorded on the starting lineup MUST pitch to at least one batter. So if their place in the batting lineup comes up before they have a chance to pitch they must also bat. Of course, if they hurt themselves then there is an exception but the umpire will be very leery of this.

What are the rules for a foul tip with 0-2 strikes and the 3rd strike? A foul tip by definition is a ball that is "tipped" by the batter and then caught by the catcher. A Batter may steal first on their third strike that is not caught by the catcher. So with 2 strikes, if a pitch is "tipped" by the batter and caught, the batter is out. If the "tipped" ball is not caught by the catcher it is a foul ball and the batter remains at...

Batter walks. Takes off running to 1st, touches 1st and steps off base in fair territory. Catcher has thrown to 1st baseman who tags runner when he steps off into fair territory. Is runner out? There are different sets of rules that have different views. The FED ruleset (used by high school in the US) indicates that the batter/runner(BR) is protected only up to first and once they leave can be tagged out. In OBR the rule interpretation has changed. Until about 2001 or 2002 the interpretation was exactly as the FED ruleset. It was understood that the walk was a base award that...

For those here who are or have been sports officials at some point (at any level in any sport) - what motivated you to get involved and do that? I think a pure love of the game got me interested. I also tend to love reading over rulebooks and the such. There are some officials that do it for the power or money but these quickly fade away because you don't get respect with power and the money isn't very good.

What is a change up? what is the difference between a two and a four seam fastball? A change up is when the pitcher throws the ball like a fastball but in reality it is coming at the batter much slower then a fastball. One type of change up is called a circle-change which the pitcher throws by "cupping" his thumb and index finger together to make a circle when he throws the ball. That way he is really only using his last three fingers to throw the ball so the...

Answer to:
In Major League Baseball, if a player catches a ball with his cap, is it considered an out? Or does the player receive a penalty? ( I want to know if I can ever do it with my games ) This is called using "detached equipment" and all runners are awards two bases from the time of the infraction. So if you caught a fly ball with your cap, the batter will usually automatically be awarded second base. All other runnres would also move up two bases. However, if there was a runner that started at first and was stealing on the pitch and you caught the ball in your...

Anytime i play a dvd it slows my computer down and the sound and video is extremely choppy, any ideas to fix this? The problem is internal RAM memory or the IO speed to the DVD, I would lean toward the memory. Before anything is done in a computer it must be loaded into memory. Depending on how much memory you have, your computer may have to spend most of its time "swapping" old items in memory for new items.

Answer to:
From the windup position, once he pivots, can the pitcher have his pivot foot an inch of two in front of the rubber or does he have to stay in contact with the back of the rubber until release? Generally speaking, no umpire is going to be looking that closely at the pitchers feet once he starts his motion. Only to check for balks to first or third. If the pitcher goes home with the throw, no umpire will call a balk or automatic ball for an illegal pitch if the pitcher is a couple of inches off of the rubber when they replant their foot.

The trains aren't as flexible with routes but moving large quantities over great distances, nothing beats the trains.

Can you in league major or kids switch a pitcher in the middle of a batter? You are allowed to replace the pitcher in the middle of an at bat. However, the replacement pitcher MUST complete the at bat. i.e. if the offensive team replaces the batter right after the relief pitcher is named, the defensive team cannot then replace that pitcher until the new batter is complete their at-bat. eg) Batter #1 facing Pitcher #9. Count gets to 2 balls. Pitcher #9 is...

Answer to:
If there is a runner on third and two outs,and the batter hits a groundball between first and second baseand the runner touches homeplate before the hitter is thrown out.does the run scored count? In fact, it doesn't matter if the force is recorded at first base. A force out at any base which results in the third out will have no runs counting on the play. This is not a "timing play" but a force play.

Is it normal that since we have Vista on our CPU, the CPU is slower? If you did an upgrade from XP it is perfectly normal because the amount of computer memory required by Vista is a lot more then XP. Generally speaking, the more memory your computer has the faster it will run. It isn't that the CPU is slower it is more the fact that the system is busy paging memory.

If you were unhappy in your job but made good money, would you give it up if you found a job that you were happy in, but for less than half of the salary? It depends on how big a pay cut it would be. Obviously going from a $8 an hour job to $4 only costs you about $160 a week (for a 40 hour work week), however going from a $50 an hour job to $25 would cost you $1000 a week.
