Yes it bunts which is holding the bat where the ball is going but not letting it go far by not swinging
yes, the ball is not dead on a walk, the batter is free to try to advance to second and risk being put out
Until the 1887 MLB season, a batter could call for a pitch to be thrown high or low.
Yes as a matter of fact it is. If the bat swings half way past home plate then its a strike.
it is scored a ball and the at bat continues
No. If the ball hits the batter's bat first there can be no call of hit by pitched ball. Added: It is actually a foul ball and a strike.
i would catch it! i would catch it!
A beaned batter. A Brushback pitch is a pitch that is not meant to hit a batter but to push him away from the plate. An errant pitch would be to mess up, and in this instance a mistake would cause the pitcher to hit the batter.
You try to steal (Hold RT and let go when the pitcher starts to pitch) and then instead of taking the pitch, the batter tries to hit it.
10 seconds from the time the pitcher has the ball in the circle. This rule is seldom ever enforced. The only way you will ever get this call is for the pitcher to get on the rubber and ready to pitch which will show a delay by the batter.
Zero. The runner will be called out on batter's interference if the throw is obstructed in any way.
On a dropped third strike, if there's a runner on first and less than 2 outs than the batter is automatically retired, whether or not the runner from first was stealing on the pitch. If there are 2 out, the batter can try to reach base, and the runner from first would be forced to try to advance to second. As on any other pitch, a runner can always try to advance, but would only be credited with a stolen base if he left the bag when the pitch was thrown, not after it was dropped.
An inside pitch
