Twice in our last tournament, the same player pulled her left hand off the bat to deflect a ball headed toward her ribs. Both times it was ruled a strike. Blue said if the hand comes off the bat and the ball hits the hand, it is a strike. Both times her hand was basically sitting on her ribcage, not out away from her body. Just trying to protect herself. Is that the correct ruling?
And yes, we have told her not to do that, either move or take it without risking injury to the hand. This is in 12U and the batter is batting right handed
