That play would be called a 'fielder's choice'.
A fielder's choice is a play where the defensive player that fields the ball attempts to put out a runner at another base instead of attempting to put out the batter at first base. No hit can be awarded on a fielder's choice but a sacrifice can be awarded if the batter had turned in the batter's box before the pitch in an obvious sign that they were going to bunt. An RBI can also be awarded if there was no error on the play.

Is a rising fastball possible?
A rising fastball is a common term in baseball, but it doesn't actually rise in the sense of defying gravity. Instead, it refers to a pitch that appears to rise as it approaches the batter due to its high velocity and spin, which can create a perception of upward movement. This effect is achieved through a combination of the pitch's speed and the angle at which it is thrown, causing it to maintain its height longer than a typical pitch. However, in reality, all baseballs drop due to gravity; the "rise" is an optical illusion created by the pitch's trajectory and the batter's perspective.
