Babe ruth fast pitch 10u rule question

[Christopher F Cheney]

Ok 10u fast pitch under babe ruth rules. Batter swings but as she swinging the ball also hits her hand now the ball is in fair what is the official rulining?

 

[Comp]

Dont have a babe ruth rule book, but in any other rule set its a dead ball strike. If its strike 3 the batter is out.

Let some more people answer comp, It was a 1-0 one count when it happen i just like to see other answers very confusing tell you the truth i look at rules i just don't see anything that say fair/dead ball etc... its one of the odd plays that happen (i am sure it happen before) though first time for me. If i got it wrong i want to make sure i get it right next time. I tell you what i rule afterwords.

PONY =A strike is called for each pitched ball struck at and missed which touches any part of the batter
Dead ball = when pitched ball touches any part of the batter's person or clothing whether the ball is struck at or not

ASA = A strike is called for each pitched ball struck at and missed which touches any part of the batter

This is pretty universal

first off the batter swings and hits her hand the ball goes into fair its not universal bud the rule is likely universal but i don't think you got the right call in this case.

I edited the post to include the dead ball rule. If the batter swings and misses (contacting the ball with the bat) it is a strike and if the ball strikes a batter in the batters box that it is a dead ball....but who knows maybe some one out there thinks differently

 

[Comp]

Any pitched ball that strikes a batter is an immediate dead ball. If the batter is swinging, it is a dead ball and strike. Does not matter where the ball goes, it could fly over the outfield fence it is still a dead ball. The instant the ball touched the batter it was dead, end of story.

It sounds like you are 100% with that i call it a dead ball btw 1-1 count

Then you would be incorrect. It is a dead ball (due to the pitch hitting the batter), but how can you rule the pitch a ball when the batter swung at it?

It's pretty simple.

A pitched ball that hits the batter is always dead.

A pitched ball that the batter swings at, and doesn't hit WITH HER BAT, is a strike.

Sooooo . . . this play results in a . . . .
