See MLBrule 7.05(g) approved ruling Note position of the runners at the time of the throw; since R1 was past 2nd the BR needed to be past 1st for R1 to score, then the BR would be awarded 3rd. No outs, runner on 1st. R1 is stealing 2nd when the batter bunts the ball to the 3rd baseman. R1 is past 2nd when the 3rd baseman’s throw to 1st goes into the stands. Place R1 and the BR.

What penalties do you impose?

  8. Two out, bases loaded, 3-2 count. With all runners going on the pitch, the batter takes ball four. R2 touches and rounds 3rd and is picked off by the catcher before the runner from 3rd touches the plate. Does the run score? • Answer • Yes see MLB rule 7.04(b) note the play. The run scores because ALL runners are forced to advance one base because of the walk.

  11. Runner at 1st, batter takes the pitch. The catcher’s throw back to the pitcher hits the still cocked bat of the batter. The ball bounces into the dugout and R goes to 3rd. Can he stay there?

There is no interference by the batter, not because he was in the batters box, but because there was no movement by the batter.

  12. Does a glove thrown at a fair batted ball have to touch the ball before you award bases? Yes or no • Answer • Yes see MLBrule 7.05(c), there is no penalty if the glove does not hit the batted ball, and the play is to continue.

Two outs, runner on 1st. Grounder to the shortstop who throws the ball into the dugout trying to retire the batter. R1 is not at 2nd at the time of the throw. Place R1 and the batter.

  16.

  18. A) second B) third C) home Answer b) third see MLBrule 7.05(g) In this play the award of two bases is base on the time of the throw and not when the ball actually went out-of-play. Also note that this was an outfielder, not an infielder Batter hits a single to right. The fielder throws to first attempting to retire the batter after he makes a wide turn at 1st. The throw goes into the dugout. At the moment the ball went out-of-play the batter had already turned at 2nd. Place the runner.
