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


Z-dad,
Now don't be apologizing.

I know exactly what you meant. Pop up between HP and 1B. BR slows to allow the protected F2 room, ball falls untouched, through F2's arms. With all that back spin it hits and rolls toward HP and hits the BR in foul ground, you are correct, he'd probably "in my judgement" not be out, and he would still be the batter, and he was behind a fielder.
