Dropped Third Strike???

[Scratch Franzeo]

FED rule set ...

X & 2 count, nobody on. Batter looks at third strike. The pitched ball hits F2 directly in the glove, bounces straight up. F2 catches ball as it comes down. The ball never touches the ground.

D3K??

That's a catch. Larry Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2

It met the requiremnts of "catch" under any rules set.  Batter is out.

Not D3K

If you stop calling it "dropped" (slang and incorrect) and call it "uncaught" as the rules call it will be easier to understand. Note that to be caught it must be secured in flight. If it hits the ground and is then gloved securely it is still uncaught.

Or if it his him anywhere besides his hand or glove, it's uncaught.<br /><br />Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2<br /><br />

Is there somewhere in the rules or manuals to support this?  I only see this requirement for a fout tip.

I don't think so. It's a pitch, not a foul tip.

Agreed.  ANd remember that if it hits the ground first and is then tipped, it can be caught for a foul-tip strike.

This ^^^^^ makes a lot of sense.

Yes, you and Mr. Umpire are correct, I was answering while doing a show and braincramped. Sorry.

Situation: R1, 2 outs.

Batter swings on strike 3, misses the ball, and the ball goes directly into PU's facemask without being touched by the catcher. The ball is dead since it's blocked in PU's facemask. Batter is awarded 1B ?

Correct

 

Rule 5.09(g) Comment:

If a foul tip hits the umpire and is caught by a fielder on the rebound, the ball is “dead†and the batsman cannot be called out. The same shall apply where such foul tip lodges in the umpire’s mask or other paraphernalia. If a third strike (not a foul tip) passes the catcher and hits an umpire, the ball is in play.

If such ball rebounds and is caught by a fielder before it touches the ground, the batsman is not out on such a catch, but the ball remains in play and the batsman may be retired at first base, or touched with the ball for the out.

If a pitched ball lodges in the umpire’s or catcher’s mask or paraphernalia, and remains out of play, on the third strike or fourth ball, then the batter is entitled to first base and all runners advance one base. If the count on the batter is less than three balls, runners advance one base.

He did not say it lodged, it went into the mask.

Live ball, play on. No award.

he said in blocked. Probably meant lodged

[grozzly]

that's it. Sorry, i'm french.....

[grayhawk]

In Fed, I'm pretty sure the rules are silent on what happens when the ball is lodged on strike three. Of course, I would award the batter first and all runners one base, just like in OBR.

That depends on whether you can read without moving your lips.

I guess that covers it. Was trying to recall something from the BRD, but it must have been something else.
