Even if the runner turned into foul territory he could attempt to advance unless time had been called, so the issue is whether the runner has made any move toward the next base and put himself in jeopardy. Story Resource Contact Rick. Home Page Check Out Sitemap What's New?

There is nothing foul about a foul-tip. If the ball nicks the bat and goes to the catcher's glove and is caught, this is a foul-tip by definition. A foul-tip is a strike and the ball is alive. It is the same as a swing-and-miss.
If the ball is not caught, it is a foul ball. A force play is when a runner is forced to advance because the batter became a runner. When the batter is out on a caught fly, all forces are removed.
An out on an a failure to tag-up, is NOT a force out. Any runs that cross the plate before this out will count. A runner must touch all the bases.
If the runner misses a base to which he was forced because the batter became a runner and is put out before touching that base, the out is still a force play. If this is the third out, no runs may score. The base can be touched or the runner can be touched, either way it's a force out. A runner is out for running out of the baseline, only when attempting to avoid a tag.
An Infield-fly is no different than any other fly ball in regard to the runners. The only difference is that they are never forced to advance because the batter is out whether the ball is caught or not. Yes it can. This is not a force play. A pitch is a ball delivered to the batter by the pitcher. It doesn't matter how it gets to the batter. The batter may hit any pitch that is thrown. Rule: 2. If the ball does not cross the foul line, it is not a pitch. If the batter is hit by a pitch while attempting to avoid it, he is awarded first base.
The release of the ball must be voluntary and intentional. It is not. If a throw or pitch is made after the balk call, the ball is delayed dead. At the end of the play the balk may be enforced or not depending on what happened.
On a throw; if ALL runners advance on the play, the balk is ignored. If not, the balk award is enforced from the time of pitch.
Otherwise, it is no-pitch and the balk award is made from the time of the pitch. If the ball is pitched, all action on the play is negated. All runners are awarded one base and the count on the batter remains the same. The position of the player's feet or any other part of the body is irrelevant.
A ball is judged fair or foul based on the relationship between the ball and the ground at the time the ball is touched. An appeal may be made anytime the ball is alive. The only time the ball must go to the pitcher, is when time is out. The ball cannot be made live until the pitcher has the ball while on the rubber and the umpire says "Play. If the ball is not delivered, it is not a pitch. If this happens with runners on base it is a balk. The pitcher is required to come to a complete stop in the Set position before delivering the pitch, not before making a throw.
If the pitcher steps off the rubber he is no longer the pitcher, he is a fielder. He can throw to a base from the rubber, provided he does not break any of the rules under rule 8. As long as the fielder is not touching the ground in dead ball territory when he catches the ball, it is a legal catch if he holds onto the ball and meets the definition of a catch. If the catch is not the third out and the fielder falls down in dead ball territory, all runners are awarded one base.
If the fielder remains on his feet in dead ball territory after the catch, the ball is alive and he may make a play. If an umpire is hit by a batted ball before it passes a fielder, the ball is dead. On any other batted or thrown ball, the ball is alive when the umpire is hit with the ball. Umpire interference also occurs when the plate umpire interferes with the catcher's attempt to prevent a stolen base.
The home plate umpire can overrule the other umps at anytime. I played second base, which probably had less to do with my skill and more to do with the fact that my dad, who was also the coach, played that position in his younger days.
Don't get me wrong, I was a pretty good fielder and usually knew what to do when a batter hit the ball to me. What got me was base running. I still remember the butterflies I got in my gut while standing on a base and waiting for a teammate to hit the ball. Do I run? Do I stay?
If I do run, how far should I go? This was all a little confusing to me. Maybe that's why I ended up playing high school soccer. Sign up for our Newsletter! Mobile Newsletter banner close.
