Reply to "Hit by batted ball while on the base????"

quote:
There is an exception: 7.09(k)

Basically if a fielder misses the ball and it hits the batter immediately behind the fielder there is no call, live ball play on!


If this happens the umpire must immediately call "Time" to stop all further action. He then must tell the batter that he cannot legally bat from behind any fielder and must, in fact, bat while in the batter's box. He must also inform the batter that if he tries it again he forfeits his right to soda and a hot dog after the game.

Sorry, I know it was a typo. I just couldn't resist. Big Grin
