    Batter Struck by Batted Ball

    So what is considered a fair batted ball? A portion of the box is in fair territory - is the batter protected if hit by a batted ball while in the box in fair territory? Obviously batters hit balls off their legs or feet all of the time, and these are ruled foul balls. Is it safe to say that...

    Batter Struck by Batted Ball

    We have 2 slappers on our team that occasionally will hit a ball of their body while trying to slap or drag bunt. They have been called out a few times for the ball hitting them while out of the box, and other times it has been called a foul ball due to the batter still being in the box. When...

    Illegal Pitch?

    Illegal Pitch?

    Would this be an illegal pitch? Amongst the people that were at this game, there was discussion on both sides of the fence on this. Some thought it was legal, some thought it was illegal. To me, it looks as though she is leaping (not much of a leap, but definitely not dragging her foot) off the...

    Pitching - 2 questions (Hand Together & Deliberate Pace)

    We played a double header in our league last night and faced two totally different pitchers. In the first game, the pitcher was very slow and deliberate in her pre-pitch rhythm. I was joking with my team that she was a "human rain delay" since she took forever to pitch the ball. She took her...
